Carnval in Sitges!

Last night I went to Carnval in Sitges, which is the beach town I went to on my day trip. It is about half hour from Barcelona and you would usually take the train to get there, but one of the club promoters organized charter buses, so we took those instead. It was insane!!!!! I don't really know how to describe it. I am going to try to post pictures later. It was basically like Mardi Gras x10000. Everyone was dressed up in bright, sparkly costumes. There was a huge parade that went on for hours and it was full of gay men in drag and women in neon feathers and sparkles and glitter. It was amazing. While the parade went on, the party moved to the beach, where a giant rave formed. We watched the parade for about an hour until we met up with some of our friends and moved to the beach. It was so cool to look around and see the water and hear the music and watch the parade. It is an experience I will never forget.

I also had my volunteering orientation yesterday. Starting in a week from today, I will be volunteering every week at the YMCA for a few hours. My orientation was entirely in Spanish!! I probably only understood about 50 percent of what the leaders were saying. It should certainly be an interesting experience. I can't wait to see the cute little kids!

On Friday, I will be waking up at around 4:30 a.m. to head off for freezing cold Prague. Steph sent me a great itinerary for what to while I am there. I will update again once I'm back!
