Pictures from day 3

What the pictures cannot show is how, once the parade started, we were completely pelted by the candy the people on the floats threw at us. David wore a baseball cap and we were all jealous of his protection! There was all kinds of music - everything from German folk music to YMCA (the kids loved it.) And it wasn't just candy - there were small bottles of wine and even flowers. The first float passed out flowers, quite carefully I might add. Beth Aura was one of the recipients. Isn't it gorgeous?

There is my favorite picture that David took (these are all David's pics - he gave us a disc before he left, and he's a much better photographer than I am!) - of the monks checking out the nuns. Hilarious. And then there's us, foot-weary revelers, heading into the pub (brown building on the right)
