Carnival in Gronau!

Yesterday we went to Gronau, Germany to watch the carnival. We dont have such celebratings in Norway, so we have never seen one before. Naturally we were quite curious about the whole thing.

A pack of bears warming up for the parade

The parade consisted of about 60 wagons, trailers, cars and groups of people dancing and throwing free candy to the public. When it actually rains candy, it is hard to keep to the strict diet. So we cheated a little on the diet that day :-P
