Piruleta, pirulina, piruletina? which is it?

Dalmation Invasion!!!!!!

This is the Constitution Square

Wohooooooo!

That´s Manoli just tellin the boy his face will soon be broadcasted on the web and that the lolly pop is in fact, not for herself but for me!

It was carnaval on the weekend, so I went to have a look. It was really long so the people were saying....and they had really cool music as well.

I was quite annoyed that no one told me that they were gonna dress up because then I would have dressed up as jasmin from Aladdin. I thought the only people who dressed up were the ones part of the carnaval but it turns out that everyone did!

I did have some nice lollies though, they call them piruletas. There was this cute baby dressed up as a dalmation, you could see his tiny face poking through...lol...couldn´t take a pic for obvious reasons.

This is La Plaza de la Constitucion

The party

The party was so intense....like we went to the hairdressers....got my hair done for like.....2 pounds!!!!!!! TOTAL BARGAIN! and then went to the house to get changed and put makeup on...loads of us cramped in the toilet tryna put the kohl on...it was funny! Then we put the top part of out dresses and the belt which was actually a CORSET. It was terrible, I really couldn´t breathe and when I sat down, the girls noticed this lump below my belt....yes it was my stomach slowly swelling up...lol...through out the evening it just got bigger and bigger and bigger! I loosened the belt then that didnt make a difference coz i felt like a balloon...I would soon pop. eventually I changed clothes and sat outside for air...and the end of the evening I looked pregnant. Had a laugh with the girls though and took loads of piccies...we kept on dropping the pastries given to us...and one rolled on the floor all the way to the group sitting in front of us...it was hilarious! they must have thought we were bonkers!

We waited for the bride for what seemed like eternity, and then she finally came ot looking stunning, there were two outfits...first maroon and second white. Food was great they call it marriage food, coz its so yummy its cooked on low heat for the whole day and with carbon...supposed to be the best way.

Engagement party

I went to Morocco for an engagement party, and as you may well know, they last for a week. So I went to the henna party, where all the woman and the bride get to put henna on their body. this was the first time I tried it so I asked for something small and of course...they gave me something big which, turned out to be really nice. On my shoulder and hand...

I´ll post a pic of the one on my hand soon...It was really cool...tomoro I will go to the engagment party, the last day....AND I´ll get to put the typical Morrocan dress....think it´s gonna be red...wohoooo!

Tetuan

Finally went to Morocco with friends....coz I felt like I would never get to go there! It was really nice to visit and the scenery was beautiful even though it rained a bit. I bought some nice stuff, cheap as well, to decorate my new room back home in london. bought a wooden box, cushion, bag, khol, incense, and a few other things.
