Here is a link to some pictures I took during Mashramani, which was this past Thursday, February 23rd. Mashramani is a Guyanese holiday that is also called Republic Day and it celebrates the anniversary of Guyana becoming an independent republic. This year was the 42nd anniversary. It is also called Guyana's version of Mardi Gras or Carnival and it basically just a crazy celebration where everyone drinks and gets dressed up in masks and crazy outfits and puts tons of glitter all over their bodies and dances in the streets. Literally. There is a huge parade in Georgetown with awesome floats and myself and some other volunteers went all out this year, dressed up, doused ourselves in glitter and went to town to see the parade. It was an awesome time, we all had so much fun. The day started at 9am where we made breakfast together at a volunteer's house and then headed into town and basically walked the whole parade route, dancing and drinking and taking tons of pictures. It was a crazy day and I still am finding glitter random places, I don't think it will ever all wash off :) So here's the link to just some of the 200 pictures I took of the Mashramani celebration.
