Carnaval

This years Carnaval was the best one yet. We went to a load of diferent towns including Sant Pere, Escala, Castelló d'empuries, Empuria Brava, Olot and fortiá. Last year we went as Farmers so we decided to change this year and we went as cook's.The idea came from a friend of mine called Edu, who is studying to be a chef, he gave us prices to buy the clothes to dress up as cook's , so we dicided on that.

The town that I think put the most work into making this years carnaval very enjoyable was in Castelló, because they put up barriers so cars cant interupt the passing floats, they organize photografers and then they send everyone a book with all of the photos in it. They also organize two of three music groups like Hotel Cochambre for the after party who are a really fun group to go and see because threy sing countless great songs from other bands, the're really good.

I also liked Castelló the most because i have lots of friends that live there and because it's the carnaval where nearly everybody comes from the surrounding towns.

On our float we has a huge cooking pot, made from sheeted aluminium, the shape was really hard to make beacuse of it's round form. Carles, a friend of mine, made a lid for the cooking pot , that could be lifted from the inside, and when we lifted it up, at the toutch of a button, we could make smoke pour out from the top.

well, some people have already started thinking of some new ideas for next year, but carnaval still is'nt over, we still have to go tho Fortiá..

Until then:)
