unknownfateI was trying to explain Piuraagiaqta to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
slayersyrena and the closest I could get was sort of a small town Mardi Gras for whaling season. Piuraagiaqta is a spring festival to celebrate the kick-off of whaling season. It's really not that much like Mardi Gras. For one thing, everybody is bundled up (Windchill was -30 today.Brr.) there's no booze, and about 479,674 less people. Also, New Orleans is famous for its food and music. Barrow, not so much. If you're lucky, the high school band will play and the fire station will sell hot dogs or something.
There was a parade, but I missed it to go to the library book sale. The wind was to nasty to hang around an hour to catch jolly ranchers anyway.
