Peruvian Carneval

Happy February!! Here in Peru this whole month is carneval which is basically a big game that is played all throughout the country. Since this month is the hottest because it is he middle of summer the people here are always looking for ways to keep cool and normally that means ice cream or the beach, but during this month it means playing carneval! It's a nationwide game of water balloons! Although it's less common here in Lima, you still have to be on the lookout while walking down the street because when you least expect it you can get hit with flying balloons by complete strangers! If you're super lucky maybe the balloon will even be full of flour or paint instead, yay!!! I haven't gotten to participate yet because I've been stuck in bed sick but I've already got a few people I plan on playing carneval with :P
