Karneval is Cologne (Köln), Germany's annual pre-Lent week-long party. We attended this year and had a great time. Parades, people in fun costumes, loud music, a cool amusement park, and great scenery. The Cathedral is awesome - worth the whole trip just to see it at night. The Rose Monday parade is seen by upwards of 1 million people, who all get pounds of free candy. All pictures Copyright (C) 2002 David A. Wilson. All rights reserved.
