Carnevale

Carnevale, in the rain.

The everpresent shower of confetti.

Hello - I haven't posted in forever, no excuses - but I do have lots of good pictures, so I will start to post some of them. Here are a couple from Carnevale, the original Mardi Gras. It is also the Italian version of Halloween, since all the kids get a few opportunities to wear costumes and people give them candy. We went to Venice on the day before the "official" Carnevale because we had heard it was more of a drunken, party time - so we went on kids day. Unfortunately, it was cold and rainy but we had lots of fun anyways.
