First day of carnival

Thursday was the first day of carnival (Fastnach) here. Max and I scored a great seat in a cafe in front of all the action. Can't get the video to load just yet. You hear people yelling what sounds like "Hello" everywhere. Apparently for carnival everyone yells "hellau" as a greeting. I will be putting up video from the parade we saw yesterday and and you will hear it every 5 seconds! Max has even been saying it as we go down the street. We haven't gotten to check out the carnival nightlife since we haven't found a babysitter (we do have an appointment for next Thurs to meet one)but I hear people singing in the streets at all hours.
