On Sunday we went to Nice for the Carnaval and had such a blast. First of all Nice est un très beau ville et la mèr est bleu comme je ne sais pas. (the city is beautiful and the sea is blue like I can't describe) Apparently the blueness of the water is because the beaches are rocky. There is no sand to muck it up. Anyway...the Carnaval was a ton of fun. There were so many people everywhere and everyone was in a really great mood. THe big event was the silly string--everyone was running around silly stringing each other. It didn't matter if you knew the person, or if you were young or old. You could be standing there with your can of silly string and suddenly get stringed by a random person. THere were silly string wars all over the place. We then found a stand that was doing free face painting and all got our faces painted. I just asked the woman to do whatever and she painted roses on my face! Quel suprise! Aussi, il y a 'Big Heads' in the parade and giant floats with people in costume. All in all very fun!
I don't have much time alors il faut que je partir.
Oh yeah, nothing is open on SUnday and Monday!
I'm going to the theatre tonight.

Sounds like a blast! Dad and I observed that people were not afraid to physically interact with those they hadn't previously known last summer. At the "parade of the big heads" in Pampola last year the costumed characters thought nothing of bopping small children and adults with big rubber balls . It was a hoot. They attacked even if someone was crying. The intention of fun and light-heartedness seemed to be understood by all without concern of being shot or sued. hmmmmm Interesting that you saw the same behaviors with the silly string wars. I think I like it.
Forgive my grammer and spelling in the previous post. :^0
