Päivi and her balcony offer a fullview of San Antonio from 7 until 11 o'clock in the evening. Apple juice and some cookies are served as the sun sets down around the center where all the shops are closed today.

Carnival in Venezia is one of the most famous carnivals in the world. Hanna and I went through the narrow streets meeting everything and everyone from horses to elks, Aces to Queens, traditional to modern, Cesars to transvestites.
