Like I said in the last post, we’ve been to two fasnacht parades this year.. one in Lörrach (with our lovely friend Emma), and one in Weil am Rhein (with Dave’s Dad). While the Lörrach parade was good, it now seems a little bit tame in comparison to the Weil am Rhein one.. as you can see by the photos. About an hour into our parade watching, I had a masked witch sneak up behind me and (once I’d noticed him) push me into the street and pull me to the ground while the other witches took my boots, drew all over my face with red lipstick, and shoved a huge amount of confetti down my coat. Meanwhile my boots disappeared down the street, leaving me to chase after them in my stockings. It was all in good fun – but I’m glad there aren’t any more fasnachts for a while!
My goodness! That sounds pretty scary!
Lucky it wasn’t rainy, you would have been covered in confetti paste – yuck! :-)
P.S. Cute skirt and great boots!
Just as well someone was there to record the event.
Wow, thats pretty scary. Looks like Dave was doing lots to help you! Hope your feet didnt get too cold!
