carneval

Last night I went with Christoph to the program in Frittlingen. There were a lot of people from the village there. There were skits and dancing and a comedian. I was not able to understand a whole lot but thats ok. Oh I nearly forgot, there was lots of beer, and wine as well. everyone was drinking something! After the program that last 2.5 hours there was just a big party where everyone gets drunk. ha! We went home early because I was tired and chris needed energy for today, in other words needed to rest because today he would drink all day long. The most interesting thing about carnival is that everyone dresses up as something. the bühlers keep comparing it to halloween, it is kinda like it, except it lasts a few days and there are parades and parties hosted by the cities. i dressed up as jack the ripper. ha! a orange jump suit..
Today was the carnival parade. a whole bunch of people dress up in all kinds of custumes and walk around the village. the most famous costume is the red, blue, green, yellow stripes with the mask. ill put up a picture when i can get my computer to work on the internet. some throw out candy too. Chris and his friends were in it as american football players. it was pretty interesting.
