Day 1 Germany

We arrived in Cologne on the day that they start celebrating Carnivale.
They celebrate it from now until Mardi Gras taking a break to celebrate Christmas.
I thought that we had the lock on crazies in L.A. they have nothing on these guys when they are in party mood.
It is now a little after midnight here and there are still a few revelers out in the streets.
It is not just a young people thing, lots of grannies and grand dads are out there too.
Normally you can, with a little difficulty, drive to the hotel which is in a pedestrian precinct. (I'm good at that) Yesterday we had to park about a half mile away and walk to the hotel.











In the hotel bar, The Pope,Elvis and a Scottish prince having a beer together.








Here you can see one part of a band, the drummers all have their equipment mounted on wheels and take them from place to place to carry out impromptu
concerts. The guys who played the Sousaphones aren't so lucky, they have to carry them.
