Hello, again,
Our last night in Tenerife was spent at the Gala for the Carnival Queen. We had an absolutely amazing time. Since we worked on the costumes we were able to have a sneak peak of all the costumes backstage on the day. There was such a difference in standard between amateur designs and designers who had been involved in the carnival for years. But, even though there was a difference in standard it was still difficult to see a clear winner. Everyone told us that once we saw them onstage with all the lights shining on the costumes, we would definitely be able to see a winner. We were also filmed by Euronews all day. The entire Gala was great fun. There was a variety of entertainment from acrobatics to dancers to singers. Unfortunately, neither of our costumes won but Santi's costume came 3rd runner up. Even though there had been a bit of competition between our two groups throughout the 3 weeks we still felt disappointed for Daniel's group.

We had such an amazing time and even though we didn't win we wouldn't trade the experience for anything. I know we all would love to go back next year and help again.
