Karneval!


The weekend of Whitsunday (or Pentecost) is a weekend of celebration in Copenhagen. A three day festival kicks off Friday evening and lasts until late Sunday night. The occaision is marked with parades, music, dance, food, and games, all centering around a Brazilian Carnival-type theme. We were able to go today and we got a pretty good taste of the event, hearing lots of drumlines, scantily clad dancers, and good beer.

They had a diverse lineup of bands. The ones we saw included several amatuer drumlines, a samba group (lots of drums and dancers with feathers), as well as a Cuban rumba band. Cavan loved the Cuban band and was mesmerized by the twirling dancers that zoomed past him. When it was done, he kept asking for "More! More!"

What better way to celebrate the birth of the Christian Church than with scantily clad dancers? Hope you guys are doing well! Say hi to Cavan for me!
