We ate lots of schnitzel, drank lots of Kolsh and had lots of fun with friends and strangers!
Blogger pal Brad and I took the easy routes and dressed up as a prisoner and devil (respectively). I took a shot at wearing a black wig, but that came off couple hours into the carnival. I do much better as a blonde.
The weekend starts on Thursday and daily parades and drinking, singing and eating ensues.
Comparing to Halloween, two major differences are apparent:
1) lack of "Slutty fill-in-the-blank" costumes - here people don't take them selfs too seriously and you see streets filled with cows, clowns, chickens, and various types of elfes ... not yet sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing
2) everyone participates, from the youngest to the oldest - it makes for an all around festive atmosphere that is hard to get away from
.... I have a feeling this will be an annual trip for us
