Well, as it's Easter time, I got a week off college. Isn't that great?? I am not religious, and I don't know how much you know about Spanish traditions, but this time of the year, people here celebrate "Semana Santa", going to the streets dressed as...well, you better see it on the pictures,lol. They carry statues, or "imágenes" or "pasos" as they

I'd love to participate in the Semana Santa celebrations!

[cali_arab]

Oh, I will!! lol
But,about Semana Santa...well, I think I prefer just watch! Those hats creep me out! lol

If there was a Semana Santa in the US, they couldn't wear the costumes in the video, lol. Bad public image. D:

It seems like a beautiful celebration. Enjoy it and the break! :]

[cali_arab]

Yeah, I know!lol And the costume in the video is just like the one of the KKK,right? There are a lot of more: red, blak, yellow and purple...pretty!

I'll do my best to enjoy! ;)

[mybodymycoffin]

Yeah, but the KKK uniform is all white. They're just similar in shape, so none of that in the States, haha. Damn confederates, ruining everything.

[cali_arab]

Haha. Love your icon. Really fitting! lol

By the way, where are you from? I thought you wrwe from the South?

[wicked_seraph]

No se podría celebrar Semana Santa en los Estados Unidos - la ropa es MUY, MUY similar con los que llevan el KKK. Mira :P

I remember one of my Spanish teachers talking about the Semana Santa celebration - it sounds like it'd be really interesting to see! I hope you enjoy it~! (Random: Sunday would be called "la Pascua" in Spanish, right?)

Enjoy your break! Hopefully your weekend is a little warmer! ♥

[cali_arab]

Yeah, "Domingo de Pascua". And last sunday was Domingo de Ramos. lol
Yes, I know about the KKK. Cuando fui a Irlanda y enseñé a mis amigos fotos de mi ciudad,había una de Semana Santa y mis amigos pensaron que yo era racista!!!
