Off to our first local Fiesta - Ole!

I am excited beyond excitement… We're going to our first local Fiesta tonight. It's a very big fiesta for the area we're in and it promises to be very entertaining… Especially if it doesn't rain :o)

It's the Cartaginians and Romans Fiesta in Cartagena. It's made up of many smaller events for adults and kids and it lasts 10 days altogether. Tonight is the opening night and procession. I am told (and have read) that there will be different re-enactments of real events in the locations in which they are thought to have happened.

Roman history is one of my favourite times in history - in terms of studying it - so naturally, seeing a bunch of people dressed up and acting it out is a trill. Can't wait…

Will post some pics later.
