The crowds were unbelievable, it was bitter cold, skies were so grey.....but the colors and music of the parade made up for it all. It was so nice to see the amazing costumes, smiles on everyones faces. Kids were wearing face makeup and costumes along with adults in crazy hats! The music was loud, you couldn't help but move to the beat of the drums. After almost 2 hours it was still going on and I couldn't feel my feet anymore we made a mad dash to Starbucks to beat the crowds.

Looks lovely. Here in Berlin Karneval is relatively unimportant and the parade will be next Sunday, the weekend we are moving: I hope we can get the kids out to see it. Your looks like fun.
Wow...such extravaganza!

i keep seeing people in costumes walking around town, or at the grocery store or bus stop, and i always do a double take - what holiday is it?
"karneval."
