Karneval

Oh German Karneval...what fun it has been so far! As you can probably tell, we went as bananas. It wasn't just me and Brian though, there's a group of 14 bananas! Karneval started on Thursday at 11:11am. When you look out the window or walk down the streets, all you can see are people dressed up in costumes! There are parties set up in tents all over Bonn and Koln! I really can't compare it to anything I've ever seen or been to before. Oktoberfest was in tents and a lot of drinking, but not nearly as crazy as the parties are here!

We have so many of our friends here and it really makes this such a great experience. We still have 3 more days left of Karneval and 8 more days until we're back in the states!

I honestly believe the banana costume is the best costume possible for Karneval in Koelle! We went out, again, for 11.11 (Nov 11) as bananas, this time with Thomas as the tallest banana ever, and we were greeted with the familiar "Chiquita bananas!" EVERYWHERE WE WENT - a felling that I am sure you can recall. Long story short, we drank for 13 hours in those bad boys and had a killer time (komm hol das Lasso raus, wir spielen Cowboy-Indianer...).

Really miss you guys - you are good people.

ps. See you in SF?
