This was Carnivale. An explosion of color and energy and PEOPLE, a shock to my system after so many weeks of feeling like I was the only tourist wandering through Europe. Our hostel was suddenly full, and in our room were a group of American girls on their junior year abroad in Athens, come down by plane for the long weekend. In the next room happened to be a group of guys from their same program, only neither group knew the other was coming, and apparently some drama transpired after conversations were overheard through the thin walls... 
Anyway, all I cared about was having people to party with, and on Saturday night I slapped on my glittery purple wig and XXL sunglasses, donned a skirt, drank a whole bunch of cheap wine from a plastic bottle, and that was that. The party went on for the next two days, but I could only take about 12 good hours before having to retreat down a long stretch of quiet beach the next day...
