Samba Fest 07

Had fun, watched parade, met new peoples, nearly fell into Boyne, fell off shoes, sat beside the Boyne at silly o'clock watching bats, drank, sang, danced, felt my sternum vibrate in new and interesting ways, spangles! drums, shaking things. Not necessarily in that order.

I'm exhausted but this year is continuing to be very pleasant indeed. This was going to be a proper post involving what I did and saw and stuff that happened, but I'm too full of joy to be able to verbalise it.

Samba Samba Samba!

Apparently it's Drogheda Samba Festival this weekend. It has a habit of being noisy but fun with ladies in spangly outfits.

I'm particularly interested in actually making it to the Samba Mass this year (am normally sleeping off the Saturday night but that looks a lot less, er, interesting than it has in previous years.) Anyone care to join me?

Spangly outfits! Drums! Whistles! Ladies in spangly outfits! With spangles!

Edit: My mother has just pointed out that it's also the St. Oliver Plunkett procession on Sunday. So spangly outfits and a head in a box!
