Last Night of Carnival

My friends and I decided to get together late last night. We all decided we want to see the burial of the sardine. I'm not sure why they picked a sardine but that's besides the point. We got together and we saw them moving the sardine because they were going to do a whole big loop and it will last an hour. So we hung out over by where Mel lives which is where they were going to burn the fish! Then it came back to where we were and then they doused the fish in gasoline. We also were wondering how much of the fish would they burn. They doused the whole fish in gasoline and then they lit it on fire! It was fine for a while because we thought they were setting off fireworks but it turned out that it turned into an explosion! We were behind a gate but we were still too close so we all ran back to were it was safer and watched the rest of the fire burn out. It was pretty cool! I filmed most of it but then I didn't film the rest because I got scared that my camera would melt or something. I tried posting it on this blog but it's not working. If you want the video, let me know and I can email it to

This explains what what was going on with the burning of the fish! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burial_of_the_Sardine
