Carnaval in Buenos Aires, Argentina

Filed under: Argentina, Buenos Aires, Photography — Capn Scott @ 11:43 pm

I had a chance to witness Carnaval in Buenos Aires. Having grew up in New Orleans, I have an idea what Mardi Gras is like. This is very close.

Very colorful costumes.  But… the simpsons???

Definitely a “The Mask” look alike…  Was keeping my eye out for the dog though…

And, what would a parade be without bands?

Doesn’t everyone just love a marching band?

The other fun thing about it was the herds of kids spraying each other with cans of perfumed soap…  Wish they had that when I was a kid.

And, popularity has it’s price…  the more popular, the more foam…

All ages where in the parade.

Great food along the sides of the routes.

Definitely a fun time was had by all…  especially if you were a kid.  Though, I saw some grownups (old kids) getting into the foam wars also.

Definitely an enjoyable time at the Carnaval…
