And whether here in Ecuador is celebrated Mardi Gras!
is clear, unlike in Germany and therefore looking for a scary new funny and crazy experience was.
Carnival is here to beschmeißen with everything you find. Mainly, however, is wetted with water and tossed with water bombs.
disgusting will be provided by the "foam spray stuff" that is sold on every street corner and in all possible colors and variations.
If you're unlucky, but you will also sometimes flour or an egg on his head.
early on Friday in the school began the "mud Party".
There were actually prohibited, however, was not it and it was made wet, and the hallways were a single lake and as a consequence of the taps were issued.
Up to the last lesson, I stayed fairly dry. Health before but I wanted to get on the school bus, stopped me some friends from all sides of me and poured cold water down the back. But that was nothing compared to what I should expect the following days ....
On Saturday morning I took with my host sister Majo and away my friend Lena in a "Desfile", a kind of parade in Sangolqui, 20 minutes from Quito in part. In this small town my parents have their own hotel and there is this parade as an advertisement for the various trades have also three of us girls, advertising made for the hotel.
covered in a decorated horse-drawn carriage through the streets and we are everywhere on the roadsides waiting crowds to marvel at the parade and throw them with water and other things.
three of us on the coach were of course one of the perfect targets and so there was really no part of the body dry.
Although we could defend ourselves also with "spray foam", but 3 against the rest ... .. of course difficult. So
sprayed and bombed us, and we did not just stick anything in your clothes and hair, but sometimes also the ears and mouth.
Nevertheless, it really fun made, even if we longed then soon after a warm shower.
then we got the but freshly showered and then ate my family and I have started us poured charge each other with water, and then afterwards we all, with clothes, ended up in the hotel pool.
Not enough with the crazy driving, we went on Sunday with my family to Amaguaña where Carnival even more intense, even more crazy to be celebrated.
(expected to follow me, of course, strong sunburn) with a clear blue sky we set out on the day trip and went with old clothes and looking forward to Amaguaña.
already been on the way bombed vigorously and reached the goal, took the wet Make no end.
Unfortunately we had to contend with so many crowds that we hardly mitbekamen of the parade there.
So we walked through the streets, or rather we ran, because of all sides they came back to us, "einzumatschen.
This time, my hair thoroughly dusted with flour and Lena could finally find an egg on his head again.
We came out of the laughing.
The return should not all be easy to make, because a huge traffic jam for hours would not let us drive out of the city.
Thus weadmired so much longer the busy and had our carnival weekend, with a lot of fun and an enriching experience, even brought us back.
