We went to Venice on Saturday for Carnivale. I was a bit skeptical at first, not knowing what the big deal was with this event. Oh my goodness! The minute we got off the train we were bombarded with confetti, silly string and gypsies who wanted to paint our faces. It was insane, thousands of people migrating in all different directions, not really going anywhere just there. So many people dress up mostly in medieval masquerade attire but then there were other people dressed up in ridiculous outfits including Beatles impersonators, break dancers, the village people, a group of Italians dressed as C.S.I. Miami characters and so so many more! Halloween amplified! It was so much fun! In St. Mark's Square there was a huge show including a crazy acrobat woman hoisted up in the air with a balloon. She was crazy, coming down in and out of the crowd and back up into the air. I am going to try to upload a video of it. It was so crazy and unlike anything I have ever seen.
UPDATE GIRL!
