So we drove downtown (at some point I was sure one of the busses was going to hit Erlend - we are living on the edge here :-)) went shopping, to the post office (your package is on its way, Marte!) and watched a parade down the main street.
we walked down the street to find a good spot to watch the parade from (which we never really found)
as we heard people calling our names (we were so excited that finally we KNOW people in this town) - it was the ladies who dressed us up as brides last week, now showing off their makeup, hair and dressing skills on themselves
there were some funky creations in the parade and who would have know that you could meet what looks like a Roman soldier here
No, it did not rain, the umbrellas are for some much needed shade
we did something that seems to be culturally very appropriate -
we bought a fried quail egg snack - so good!
I realized after we had bought it, that only kids seemed to eat it tough… oops!
anything to get a better view
in the evening a friend invited us & some other girls to go on a ride to the rice fields - it was awesome!
