A huge part of Carnival is water – there are kids everywhere with water guns, water balloons, and spray foam that are attacking each other and everyone else on the street. Once we decided that we had been blasted by too many times by one group of boys, we needed to get some sort of defence. We each bought a $1.50 can of spray foam and ambushed them! Up to that point, most kids were after each other but once we were involved they all joined forces. We raced up all around the square, chased by screaming kids – I think every kid in town was after us!
Our foam cans ran out and we were left standing with our hands in the air, soaking wet and covered in foam. The kids were laughing wildly (still spraying) and the adults were pointing and giggling.
It was good fun, but made going out anytime afterwards a wet event – of course they would all recognize the only two gringas in town!

The vicarious adventure is great. Your photos are great.
Did you know that people actually make a living by doing slide shows with this kind of thing at teacher conventions all over the place?
