My trip to Valencia with Sarah and Carly during the weekend of March 19th for Las Fallas is documented in this video:
Notice the song and lyrics: "We're gonna burn this whole city down!"
Like I said, these people are CRAZY. The city could catch on fire any minute, as shown by the raging flames. How this never actually happens, I don't know.

We're gonna burn this whole city down!
I am finally uploading pictures and I got all the Fallas pictures up from Valencia.
You can see them here.

I am also working on the video editing, don't you fret!
Fallas is a huge celebration where people construct these gorgeous paper-mache sculptures (that look like plastic) and then at midnight Friday, they burn them all down. These things cost thousands and millions of euros, but they build them just to destroy them. Sarah, Carly and I went there and spent a weekend in Valencia. USAC had buses go Friday morning and left Saturday at 3am, basically a one-day trip (without a hotel or anything) so they could see the fallas. Therefore, we saw some USAC kids there, too.
Enjoy the pictures and let me know what you think!
