First of all, as covered earlier, by the crack team of reporters at FPPINTERNATIONAL.COM, maizena is corn starch, and for some reason it is to be rubbed into the faces of everyone present at carnaval. If one is lucky, when the water, beer or spuma is sprayed/poured into his/her face, it will clean some of the stuff out of his/her eyes.
Anyway, with a half dozen Carnaval options open to us for friday, we chose the Cumbia circle of death. Basically, it is the dancing in a circle around a drum band, while all sorts of stuff is sprayed and rubbed into one's face; you know, like thanksgiving at Grandma's.
Also, a case of Venezuelan rum came into our possession, just as carnaval weekend was to kick off. Karma? Fate? Hugo Chavez looking out for his North American friends? Who cares; the stuff is smooth and delicious, distilled from Hugo's belly sweat under them green fatigues, I have been told. Some people took the possession of this stuff to heart, adopting the bottles, naming them, caressing them, copulating. Keep your fingers and small children back at least two meters. (uhhh, six and a half feet)
