CARNIVAL SEASON!!!

Carnival Season is here! This week we will see tons of costumes and parades in every city. It's bigger than the 4th of July in America. Everybody dresses up in funny costumes. This was a parade that we went to in Wolbeck. Anine and tobias, friends from our branch brought us to their house for the parade. the parade was marching right down the street in front of their house, so we opened the windows and cheered from the inside. Sarah and I went upstairs and they threw candy etc up to us.

All the kids waited at the window of their house and people threw candy to them.

This is Anine and Tobias' youngest daughter, Sophia.

I tried to get the best picture I could of the crowd that attended this small town's parade. It was packed everywhere.

Many and many crazy, drunk dancing in colorful or political costumes. They throw out shots to the adults and candy to the kids. There was an Obama float, but I didn't get a picture of it.

Inside each float was at least 12 cases of beer. They go nuts over this traditional holiday. This boat had the most beer inside, I think.

I had to take a video of the crazy chic conga line:

The girls, at carnival, cut the guys ties and give them kisses. I assume these girls were doing a lot of that. The LDS missionaries are allowed to take their ties off for carnival week.
