#pustovanje

(2 pictures, because I missed friday and I need to catch up)

Carnival is celebrated in all parts of Slovenia and is marked by a variety of local traditions and the wearing of region-specific masks, one of those being Kurent, who is supposed to frighten winter away. To be honest, they are quite frightening and I am always hiding behind my mum, because they can be quite annoying. I love the carnival period,which we call Pustovanje, because the food is good. There is always a lot of different sweets (donut, "flancati") and if you want to celebrate "Pust" properly, you need to dress up in something, which is always funny. I wanted to be a Snow white, but instead I ended up being a Little Red Riding Hood. Close enough. So untill next year winter, goodbye (we have another 20cm of snow coming on Tuesday...goodbye winter my ass).
