When they arrived and she got off the carriage, the tumult of people and voices and smells overwhelmed her. But she took it all in. The music and the laughter was so loud it made her whole body vibrate.
In the middle of the square there was a pole and round it were young girls dancing, each holding a ribbon of different colour. The materials wrap on the pole making it look like a giant candy. When they stopped, other girls of different ages approached and decorated the pole with flowers. The pole looked beautiful standing in the middle of the square, towering everything.
As they went nearer, a group of people approached them, each with a basket full of flowers and some small green branches.
