I enjoyed the lights, the dancers and the food was amazing. I really enjoyed the dress that the birthday girl was wearing! It's amazing how they set this party up in such a quick manner, they did a great job on decorating the venue! I enjoyed myself. ]]> 2021-11-29 22:26:23 UTC https://padlet.com/serenitymercer/n6nsyp1w1pxzfkch/wish/1919085798 serenitymercer https://padlet.com/serenitymercer/n6nsyp1w1pxzfkch/wish/1919097193 One artifact I got was a Flor de muerto flower. ]]> 2021-11-29 22:36:21 UTC https://padlet.com/serenitymercer/n6nsyp1w1pxzfkch/wish/1919097193 serenitymercer https://padlet.com/serenitymercer/n6nsyp1w1pxzfkch/wish/1919104797 My experience with Day of the Dead was definitely moving. It was peaceful and it was great to see people mourning their loved ones. Giving the offerings was my favorite part. The Day of the Dead was a bit emotional for me though. I loved it!]]> 2021-11-29 22:43:42 UTC https://padlet.com/serenitymercer/n6nsyp1w1pxzfkch/wish/1919104797 serenitymercer https://padlet.com/serenitymercer/n6nsyp1w1pxzfkch/wish/1919106429 One souvenir I received was a colorful hat.]]> 2021-11-29 22:45:29 UTC https://padlet.com/serenitymercer/n6nsyp1w1pxzfkch/wish/1919106429 serenitymercer https://padlet.com/serenitymercer/n6nsyp1w1pxzfkch/wish/1919108636 My experience was good. I definitely would celebrate this instead of Columbus Day. It's sad to know that the colonizers (Europeans 😑) took away many traditions and cultures; but we get to bring those back on this day. I enjoy the dances.]]> 2021-11-29 22:47:39 UTC https://padlet.com/serenitymercer/n6nsyp1w1pxzfkch/wish/1919108636 serenitymercer https://padlet.com/serenitymercer/n6nsyp1w1pxzfkch/wish/1919113849 This is a weird souvenir but I picked up someones tooth 😭💀.]]> 2021-11-29 22:53:08 UTC https://padlet.com/serenitymercer/n6nsyp1w1pxzfkch/wish/1919113849 serenitymercer https://padlet.com/serenitymercer/n6nsyp1w1pxzfkch/wish/1919119341 Takanakuy was definitely something else. It was pretty funny, but I was a little scared since I've never seen so many people drunk and beating up people. I'm not really used to seeing people THAT drunk. I did enjoy the dancing part though! I had fun dancing with other people.]]> 2021-11-29 22:58:27 UTC https://padlet.com/serenitymercer/n6nsyp1w1pxzfkch/wish/1919119341 serenitymercer https://padlet.com/serenitymercer/n6nsyp1w1pxzfkch/wish/1921407684 One souvenir I picked up was a white feather from the first boat.]]> 2021-11-30 21:00:36 UTC https://padlet.com/serenitymercer/n6nsyp1w1pxzfkch/wish/1921407684 serenitymercer https://padlet.com/serenitymercer/n6nsyp1w1pxzfkch/wish/1921410710 Carnival was wonderful!! I loved seeing the different floats and the music was wonderful!! The first float was my favorite. The part when the man was walking around the soccer ball was so nerveracking but it looked fun! Amazing experience. ]]> 2021-11-30 21:02:51 UTC https://padlet.com/serenitymercer/n6nsyp1w1pxzfkch/wish/1921410710 serenitymercer https://padlet.com/serenitymercer/n6nsyp1w1pxzfkch/wish/1921414269 One souvenir I got was a mini skirt that one of the dancers would wear.]]> 2021-11-30 21:05:30 UTC https://padlet.com/serenitymercer/n6nsyp1w1pxzfkch/wish/1921414269 serenitymercer https://padlet.com/serenitymercer/n6nsyp1w1pxzfkch/wish/1921416732 I really wanted to go to a Carnival that happened in Trinidad! One of my most played rappers is from Trinidad (Nicki Minaj) and when she went to carnival in one of her music videos it looked so cool! The music is very upbeat and it makes you want to move! I also enjoyed the dances. Very fun!!]]> 2021-11-30 21:07:24 UTC https://padlet.com/serenitymercer/n6nsyp1w1pxzfkch/wish/1921416732
