Valborg Celebrations!

Today was the Valborg celebrations here in Lund. Valborg celebrates the beginning of spring, and here in Lund (as in all of Sweden and many other countries) people celebrate with parties, drinking and bonfires.
I got up early, and went to the city park to hang out and listen to music. There were tons of people in the park, and because as these things go- yesterday was a beautiful, sunny day, and today (as you can see) it was pouring rain. Even with the rain, a group of us set up camp in the park, along with hundreds of other students.
There was music and crazy people all dressed up. It was a lot of fun, but I didn't stay too long because I was soaked within 2o minutes.
Some students decided to get up on the dumpsters to dance until the police, who were out in force, yelled at them to get down...
There was also a little carnival beside the park...
In the evening, there was a bonfire set up....
And because there was a lot of wind, the fire was huge! It was a really fun day, and great to see so many people out in Lund despite the rain!
