Holiday travels 3

It begins ...

A bit of background: this is part of the traditional Festival de Blancos y Negros, which originally started way back when the Spaniards still ran the show and had slaves. The masters would paint their faces black the first day, while the slaves painted their faces white the next. Somehow this became two days of total insanity and wars with various colors of paint, flour, talcum powder, and foam. See below.

My attacker. Actually much nicer than this picture would suggest. He smiled a second later but he is now part of the history book that is the internet as a sullen bastard covered in paint. Oooooo!
There was no escaping it. Walking through the crowd without being constantly attacked was impossible.

More attackers. Fortunately, in the middle of a civil war.

Me and the mayor!

New friends, or something. They were really drunk and excited to see foreigners at the party.

Really nice people we actually know. A huge mess.
