Carnivel 2014

I did some discovering solo on the streets of Munich during the biggest celebration of the year! It was cool and overcast but no rain today.

Town center

The Grand Carnivel parade 

Everything is beer/alcohol , no matter if it's 10am! 

Welcome to Germany! 

Everyone was dressed up at carnivel, this was my very first experience with it. I felt undressed lol 

There's simply everything at the city's famous food market – from traditional Bavarian specialities to exotic delicacies. 

 bargaining and haggling have no place in the Munich lifestyle –  least of all on the luxury shopping boulevards such as Ludwigstrasse

Poliza

Had to have one! It smelled soo good in the city square 

Yummy

Dancing in the street! 

Wow...... I have no words. 

Not sure who they are supposed to be but everyone was googooing over them lol

 I really think Munich has a problem with ghosts. 

Confetti everywhere ! And I mean everywhere! 

Carousel chimes on the castle  .. Love ! 

Marienplatz square – it is the heart of Munich and is home to the Old and New Town Halls. 

The town hall glockenspiel is as much part of Munich's identity as the Hofbräuhaus beer hall or the iconic Church of Our Lady, whose green dome-crested towers can be seen for miles. 

One of the many many beer tents. 

Cute costumes

Drum group 

Can't beat em... Join em! :)

So what is it that I'm going to eat?!?! Ugh wish I knew German! 

Metro closest to me. 

My hubby said " you always find the party" 

no, the party always finds me! :) 

Don't see these In the states anymore. 

Hello Munich.

I dislike travel days as they take up your whole day. I was at my airport gate in Athens 2 hours before my flight. I think missing my last plane really opened my eyes and made me nervous! Uneventful first flight, 5 hour layover was actually pretty relaxing and comfy chairs,coffee, with free wifi and friends to chat with. Second flight I got a good meal :) 

Had to sit in the chair representing USA! Lol 

My First views of Germany 

I seen a casino around the corner :( from my hostel. 

A look at my hostel in Munich Germany.

Try to figure this metro system out! Oy! I'm having an adventure just with this lol 

Well it's been a long day so im headed to my slumber. 

Party on Athens!

There was aCarnival festival going on today in Athens right near my hostel. 

Athens, Greece woke up and became alive on this beautiful sunny Sunday! 

So I decided to make some fun pictures! 

All the kids were dressed up like it was Halloween.
