Yes, but add “Estuve ausente en viernes.”
Translation:
“That same week was the International Music Festival in Cartagena. There were many parties and parades on the street.
Carolina and Magdalena decided to go visit a friend who was a scientist and they walked towards the exit of the hotel. When they saw the parades in the streets of Cartagena they put on costumes to try to hide, and so that the pirates would not recognize them.”
If you ever need help with translations or languages use google translate
Estar emocionado
in English that would be I'm exicited
