Fasching in Garmisch

Fasching in upper Bavaria is quite different to what you are normally see when you view pictures of Fasching in Germany.

They were giving out shot glasses of liquor and animated people to dance with them. Both P and M were game enough to dance with the old "lady".

Imagine P's surprise when the old "lady" picked her up and twirled her around...
