Carnival

So last week I was bad. I had tonsillitis and a cold. I could not talk and had to stay in bed. I did not leave my bed for two entire days and felt horrible. I am hardly ever ill so I decided this is it for the next two years, at least...
The Timing was even worse. In Bavaria we celebrate carnival. Not as much as in other parts of Germany, like Cologne. But still we celebrate. And I like it.
On Thursday was "Weiberfasching" which means it is Womans Carnival day. I was still in bed. no celebrations for me. :-(

But I felt better on Saturday so I decided to drive home to Weilheim to join celebrations on Sunday
Every two years the city center of Weilheim, i.e. the pedestrian area tranforms into what I call carnival area. Local stores and sport clubs have little stands outdoors and sell food and drinks. And of course there is a stage where music is played etc.
And everyone is there. no matter what age. Weilheim is not that big and I grew up there so I enjoyed meeting some old friends and people I have not seen in a while!

And of course everyone is dressed up. I went as clown.
