New Year's Eve

I'm not sure if I have talked about this before in my blog, but if so please forgive me because I keep forgetting things. And that's definitely not good, believe me. Anyway, I wanted to introduced you to a tradition we have in Pamplona on New Year's Eve. Well, of course we perform the grapes ritual as in the rest of Spain. But we also dress up with costumes and go out at night. Yeah, exactly like in Halloween, expect for the fact that in Pamplona pretty much no one does it for Halloween but for New Year's Eve.
So it's very usual to see groups of friends with the same costumes. That night the party is in the streets and the fun is assured. This year, me and my friends we were dressed as those Jamaicans in the movie about bosleigh. Do you know which one I am talking about? Well, I think it was called Cool Runnings. I'm sure most of you have seen it. Not only did we dressed up as the guys in the movie but we built up cart "like" the one they used. You can judge by the picture, but I think we did a good job. So we drove that thing around, sometimes with more danger than others, the whole night. It was heaps of fun and a great feeling to be in it.
