A week-long collection of free children's street performances began over the weekend, of course, starting yesterday MORNING, guess where?? That's right! Piazza Navona! They started off with a BAM!, jesters, a military marching band and what sounded like a full choir. By mid-day on Sunday, they were still at it. I watched jesters dancing in a circle with children dressed in animal-look-alike footie pajamas (or "costumes") and a man eating fire in a comic fashion. I never found out, though, where the kiddos get packages of confetti. Its not special to Carnival; they seem to be available at all major tourist piazze, but they're in over-abundance this week. 
I have yet to find myself a dealer. In a bout of frustration, I instead danced with the twirly paper ribbons that looked like super-sized versions of the kind that pop out of tiny plastic champagne bottles. Its been raining here for the last few days, so its iffy if I'll be able to see any more of the Carnival, but it was fun while it was waking me up in the morning.
