Carnival night in Gozo

Raised in California and Washington but living in Minessota, westcoastraised is currently in Malta and having a great time. He spent the weekend in Gozo at the crazy Nadur Carnival:

Went back to this 100 year old farm house that they rented out and sat down to enjoy the homemade wine. Started to feel pretty good laughing and joking with Claudia and Duncan's friends. Thus we started our trip to the carnival which is a combination of the 4th of July, Marti Gras, and Halloween. The craziest ever, I have never seen anything like it. I got onto a float and danced until they kicked me off, acquired a couple of bottles of booze free of charge. Listened to bands, saw a bunch of guys dressed as women and crazy ass outfits of everything. So we got a little more intoxicated and headed back to the farm about 3:30 in the morning. We stayed up until the break of dawn. Then we woke up and spent 4 hours trying to get food because everything closes down in the middle of the day for people to take there naps, then we got to a place that make hand tossed pizzas and then cooks them in a huge wood Bakery oven. They were divine.
