Today is Three Kings day in Spain, and I’m not sure exactly what it means, but I know it’s something religious, and therefore I am not surprised that I’m not sure exactly what it means. But what it meant to us was a kick ass parade where we got pelted with hard candy and ran around town to meet up with the parade route in all different places.

Two major differences I noticed between parades here and in the US? One, here, the people on the floats actually seem to have fun and not just sit there grudgingly waving their hand; two, here, the people get in real fistfights over stuffed animals.

KICK ASS.
