My secret wish for this carnival was to be dressed as a fairy. My neighbor's daughter was a fairy herself and I even thought about stealing her little magic wand and take loads of pictures with it - crazy, isn't it? :-) - walk around and turn all people' wishes into reality with my shrewd magic :-)...and I just found out that at least in Lisbon, the carnival is a lovely event mostly for the children, not for the grown-ups who maybe are too worried about their lives or just lack the sense of humor to get dressed up and enjoy the colors and music of the carnival. Next year I will be a bee :-)
