I know that in many other campos you can see costumes and festivities that are not cut from the same pattern. Thanks for reminding me that all is not lost.... It’s great to hear this!

Margherita we saw carrots, aliens, a totally awesome Black Hole (!!!) and somebody who looked like a refridgerator and, restricted by his costume, could hardly walk (but anyway who would expect a refridgerator to walk?). These costumes were self-made with much care and attention and good ideas. I really liked it :) I had previously thought that I’d rather not go to Venice in Carnival (because the crowds and so), but last weekend I was there and it actually was fun: especially in campo S.
