Fasching in Mainz.

Posted by May at 12:06 PM

Helau from Deutschland!!! Who says you need to be in Rio de Janeiro to witness what a carnival or Fasching as it is called looks like?? We have it happening in Deutschland with three cities (Mainz, Köln and Dusseldorf) hosting the major carnival parades.
      We visited Mainz yesterday to witness the fun and we had the most amazing time and experience. For today, I will let the pictures do the talking. Will get back tomorrow with details of our trip. Happy Tuesday everyone!!!!







P.S: The kids are home for the week and we have action packed days ahead of us!! Kindly bear with me as I will not be able to comment on my favorite blogs...:) Will be back next week!!!

    Well, it's not Venice or Rio, but Carnival there is very colourful and cheerful! I sometimes take a peek on the tv from Deutschland. Here in the NL the biggest celebrations take place in the south, near Maastricht.

    What great pictures! I'm assuming it's a lot like Mardis Gras in New Orleans?
