That ferris wheel reminds me of Carnavale in Viareggio, Italy! The picture above is me (the pink elephant) with my best friend James (the monkey) and his little sister Danica (the dog) on one of the ferris wheels on the first night of Carnavale 2008. We're wearing our carnavale masks which we bought at a dollar store in Pisa. I really wanted to bring mine home, but couldn't find a good way of doing so. I also had a paper clown mask from a party James and I went to that weekend... and that one did come home with me
