Narri, Narro

Yesterday the rallying cry was not Alaaf or Helau but Narri, Narro. Also, in Freiburg, we celebrate the fifth season, called Fasnet in the Alemannic linguistic area and not Karneval (Cologne) or Fasching (Munich).

A lady of our steadfast rest of Feierabend had lined up in the cold at Freiburg's town hall (thank you, Offi!) to buy tickets for a Fasnet event, that is, the afternoon dress rehearsal of an evening event.

Freiburg offers its senior citizens an afternoon of colorful entertainment with coffee, cake, and an additional drink, to which Red Baron added a bottle of Winzersekt (sparkling wine).

So yesterday, six Feierabend people sat in the city's sold-out Ballhaus and watched the performances on stage.
