Parade

Well it just gets better and better here in Germany. Today is Rosenmontag, it is part of the Karneval festival they celebrate before the beginning of Lent. They have a big parade and guess what? It went down our street! We could see it from our windows but we went down on the street so that we could shout "karmelle, karmelle" (which means lollies, lollies) and the people in the parade threw them at us. I got bonked in the head with a Kinder Surprise egg, but I didn't mind a bit.

Here I am watching the parade with my dada and my friend Milan and his dada. I saw lots of funny people dressed up in crazy costumes.

You can see here how they throw the lollies out of the floats, and everyone scrambles to catch them.

And this is me with all the lollies I got. If only mama and dada would let me eat some...
