today is Ash Wednesday and it's Carnival in Skagastrond.
The celebration is a mixture of Halloween (children go around and sing songs to get sweets - but there is no trick or treat thing here) and the Carnival which is celebrated in mainland Europe this time of the year, just before the start of "quaresima" (in italian) the 40 days of fast before Easter.
There was a party for children in the town all, and the costumes were amazing, mostly handmade and really creative. My favorite were : the walking toilet and a really spooky little vampire
