Foiled !

Got to my Spanish lesson just in time to discover that the group of people I was supposed to go to the Carnaval with has been decimated by illness and (methinks) apathy. I am therefore back in the internet cafe, with my party shirt on and nobody to party with !
I have however discovered that the floats/procession that I missed so much yesterday take place once daily around 2 or 3 pm. I am determined to go and see this tomorrow (the last day of Carnaval).
Fate appears to be leading me to the Carnaval site earlier in the day rather than later. I see this as a sign to hang up the party shirt for this year and be happy in the knowledge that I can plan next year´s Carnaval (which I shall spend in the provinces) with military precision. Some photographic highlights of this year´s event (mostly the crowning of this year´s Carnaval Queen) are linked here, the names on the sashes refer to the area of Panama City each particular honey represents.
