Ok once again I have some strange tale as to what I did this weekend. It seems every week is a fiesta or something not that I am complaining but at the same time it´s crazy. I get to see so many different places though.
So went last Thursday evening to Zaragoza for the Fiestas of Pilar. On the first day did a whole load of nothing but meeting peoples and the parents and sleeping. Friday was crazy there were people everywhere in traditional garb from where ever they came from and carrying flowers to give to Pilar. We saw the statue and it was on top of a great mountain of flowers it was so impressive. Took a picture of it cos well it was amazing. Then it was like a carnival street performers everywhere and it was just amazing. In the evening went to the cinema with marta to see El Orfanato by the same guy who did Pan´s Labrinth. It was so terrifying in parts and I didn´t ant to sleep with the light off. I now have a slight fear of small children wearing masks. Then we went out to a bar again. It happens just about every night.
Saturday we went to an exhibit in the museum about Mexico and it was so cool there was even some animations. One was hilarious with these three tiny japanese girls singing a song. It was fatastic. XDD Then there was the offering of fruit to pilar so this time there was a mountain of fruit around her as they had moved the flowers. In the evening we went to the Fair ground which was amazing!!!!! So many things to see so many colours and rides. It was three times bigger at least than any other fair ground I have ever seen. Apparently 150,000 people were there. We went to a concert by Carlinhos Brown who I couldn´t understand. He spoke Spanish with a very very strong portuguese accent and even the spaniards found it hard to understand. It was funny though especially when people would start to do things and I had no idea why. He kept giving orders to the crpwd and I was always behind, but it was good. I was so tired on teh way home I could barely even think spanish.
Sunday we lazed around went to find good old english tea for me cos all they have is green tea or red tea and I wanted earl grey. Thankfully we found some which made me happy. ^__^ Then we went into a shop full of manga it was amazing. They ahve so much more out here. Peacemaker is up to number 5 here. I may just ahve to buy it. I actually managed to control myself a miracle in itself. I want to see the other shop which has more stuffs first. I also got told that in Barcelona at the beginning of November is an international manga convention or something which I so ahve to have a look at cos yes once again there is a fiesta of some type then. XD Then sunday evening came back to Mora spoke to my parents and collapsed into bed with teh light on cos you know a small child wearing a mask might appear.
