Young people rented pick-up trucks and lorries, and drove around all day dancing, drinking whiskey and getting soaked. Some of the pandals were equipped with fire hoses. Some people used pressure washers to spray, some had buckets of ice water. Little kids waited on street corners with water guns, babies had cups of water poured down their backs, and dogs stood in the spray smiling.
The only ones who didn't get splashed were monks and authorities, though Liz said she saw one soaked monk, and she personally reached into the passenger window of a taxi and dumped a bucket of water into a soldier's lap before noticing he was a soldier. Even if you begged, there was no way to escape having water tossed on you.
