Hello there

The big day is upon us, Utila is packed from shore to shore with tourists, shiny plastic
necklaces, paper mache animals and glitter. Yes, it's carnival.

Our float is ready, and magnificent, everyone in existence has recognised the superior quality
of my banner which is to be held high on sticks, and I have managed to duck out of wearing a
costume. All in all, an excellent carnival day.

The parade starts in an hour and a half so I have to go help get everything ready, which
includes talking Tom into carrying a giant paper mache turtle that, to me, look psychotic.

It's amazing how many people have come, there aren't enough hotels but who needs them when we
have all night beach parties?

There is going to be an amazing amount of tack paraded through the street tonight (yes, we only
have one street) and I will try and get lots of wonderful photos to bore you with when I get
home!

Which by the way is getting very close, less than 2 weeks now!

well, I hear the lure of the plastic and glitter

see ya soon
