Germany celebrates what is called Fasching or Karnival. It is very similar to Mardi Gras. We drove up to Cologne as I heard it is the best place to celebrate the holiday. It was really fun!
The famous love lock bridge into the city.
On Sunday, it was beautiful and warm. The parade was geared towards children. We got lots of candy. On Monday (also Kate's birthday), it was cold. Really, really cold. The parade was geared towards political propaganda. We got TONS of candy, stuffed animals, flowers, and toys.

Our loot.
Kate and I went to a parade with a few of our friends- the Deitfurt Chinese Fasching. You are supposed to dress up in Halloween costumes. Most people wear jumper costumes, which makes since as it is FREEZING!
