Goan Carnival

 My friend Susan invited some friends and I to attend a carnival night, organised by the Goan Youth of Arusha. She told us to wear feathers, so I wore this hair accessory which my husband Jouni made for me. I actually wore it not just for the carnival, but for the whole day!

 We were asked to be the judges of the fancy dress contest and had to score everyone out of ten for costume, makeup and dance moves. The carnival king led the possession and gave everyone lollipops!

This was the first Goan occasion I have attended in Arusha and I was surprised by how many people I knew: students from my school who were up late dancing the night away!
