Carnival in Germany

Germany is in the middle of their carnival, so we decided to visit some of the activities in Freiburg. After the usual picture taking near the cathedral and a wonderful lunch in a traditional German Restaurant (good German Beer included!), we made our way to the festivities. Although the final parade was scheduled for the next day, there were thousands of people in the streets “practicing” for the big day. The sound from the band and their supporting carnival costumes is really something to see and hear. Of course you can dance, eat, drink, or even sing along to help celebrate. The next time you’re in Germany at the beginning of February, you MUST participate in carnival. You can see our pictures here.
