21 February 2009 - Karneval in Merl

The big Karneval parades are on Monday, but several other villages do smaller parades, so we went to one on Saturday in Merl, which is about 5 minutes away from us.



Yes, there were few costume changes.




During the parade, we found out that they throw out more than just candy. Luke got a sponge.


Nash got some lovely yellow candles.


Grant and his friend Austin.



One of the floats in the parade was throwing out potted plants.
And a few of the locals waiting for the parade to start.
