Zumba Carnival 2012

I know I still have a lot of catching up to do... But like I said. I've been super busy.

Last weekend was the Carnival here in my home town. I joined up with a small group of people from my zumba class. We met for breakfast in town and went from there, to where we had to team up and get in line for the parade. Our carnival is for everyone, which means everyone can join the parade in whatever costume they like. A lot of people dress up every year. To most people, it's an opportunity to get drunk and have fun! This year the weather was so great. Best carnival weather in a long time. We brought a long a huge ghetto blaster to play our zumba music, but as soon as we hit the play button, it was clear to us, that we were not gonna be able to hear the music when the other dance group brought mobile discos with huge speakers... But to our luck, the dance troup ahead of us was playing music that we already new from zumba, so we just "borrowed" the music from them. Phew!
The theme of the carnival was "Turning around the world" or as we say it in Danish "the world on the head" - so although we were only gonna dress in zumba clothes with bright colors, I decided to add some flags to my hair and a small globe.

After the parade, we found a place in the shadow and had something to drink. We brought our drinks on the carnival vagon that I made for us.

After drinking most of what we had brought a long, we went to the park that hostet the big carnival party. We found a place in the little shadow we could find that day.

I noticed a spot on my top... Let's face it. You can't join a carnival and expect to walk away spot free. I showed it to one of the other girls and she suggested I used vanish and it would disapear. Little did she know, that I was already testing vanish. So I told her that I had been trying it out and was definitely going to give this spot a try, too.

This is my result:

The spot is definitely gone... The color difference is only on the picture.. Guess I used flash in one of the pictures.

So my carnival ended spot free and one to remember! It was the first time I was in an actual dance troup in the carnival and it was a lot of fun. Will definitely think about joining the parade this way next year as well. After the dance troups, the regular people walk around in their costumes, drunk and having fun. The hole city participates, but I think it's more fun to be sober and dance, to get drunk and walk around.
