The Carnival of Acireale, is popularly known as the most exciting, beautiful, and fun carnival in all of Sicily. It is one of the most involving and historical festivities of the island. People are running down the streets as the floats are passing by throwing confetti, shooting you with silly string, wearing masks, crazy hats and costumes. It was a wonderful experience. I was able to go with some of my closest girlfriends. Hopefully Jesse will be able to go with me next year.

Me and Shana posing with our coke and pepsi cans
My coke can is the size of a red bull can back in the states and
the pepsi is huge. We were posing in front of a movie poster that
says I love shopping, but I am blocking the first couple of letters.
haha, whoops. We love opping!
