It IS always great to share information AND always enjoy your input. Mebbe I am a lyin waste of a man, but the pictures were more to portray the spirit of carnavale, none of them was actually taken at an actual Mardi Gras event. Except for the dude in the Italian police costume. I am SURE that one was taken at the Munich Fasching celebration. Those beer hall dudes WHEW. LOL
So, appreciate the comments, AJ, and responding in a good humoured and fun joking Carnival spirit! HAVE FUN As Always, ER http://groups.google.com/group/omnisport http://speedorex.blogspot.com/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Triathletepix/ ________________________________ From: asc490 <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2013 11:47 AM Subject: Fwd: [omnisport:21530] Enjoying Mardi Gras? ER, luvly pics, they really are, thanks a lot for posting them. Let me add a little comment; forgive me, I'm German, I couldn't fight it ;-) Even though Cologne is a carnival stronghold (and that car is registered there), this picture was rather shot at the Christopher Street Day parade in Cologne. Cologne is also a gay stronghold ;-) And unfortunately, Fasching/Karneval/Fastnacht (it's all the same) can't be compared to Mardi Gras in New Orleans. You won't see anybody flashing for beads - or stretching in front of cars - no surprise when temperatures are just between 0 and 10 ° C (30 to 50 ° F). That's why everybode loves Mardi Gras so much... and what makes it unique, right?

Germans have been celebrating Fasching since January 7th, the Carevale is ongoing in Venice, even New Orleans has ongoing krewes, http://www.mardigrasneworleans.com/mardi-gras-2013.html but will take a week off for the Super Bowl, resuming to get all the partying and feasting in before Ash Wednesday commences at midnight of Mardi Gras, Fat Tuesday itself, February 12. Even if you are not religious self denial is good for you, no pain, no gain, right? Have fun until Mardi Gras, then start to get in shape for Spring and Summer...
