Thirteen Images of Heinerfest



Heinerfest is a carnival that takes over much of the city of Darmstadt, my husband's hometown, more or less. We went on Monday with my husband's brother, sister-in-law, and oldest niece, and stayed until after the fireworks. These are some pix--mostly ones we took, but I also snagged a couple from Flickr.








1.
Official poster of Heinerfest 2006.
2.
Crowd scene. You can see my niece, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law over on the right.
3.
Cute slushie stand
4.

Crowd scene with big ferris wheel in the background.
5.
Our youngest, our niece, and our oldest on the viking ship ride
6.
The giant wheel and the viking ship.
7.
Look carefully. There's a cow on that balcony.
8.
Haunted house ride. The sign (which I didn't get in the picture) advertises "living ghosts" which I found amusing.
9.
SIL, oldest, youngest, middle, and a truly horrible picture of me.
10.
"Mr. Mais" food stand. Cracked me up.
11.
Niece and daughter on a scary spinny ride.
12.
Night scene snagged from Flickr.
13.
Another night scene snagged from Flickr--none of my nighttime pix turned out.

Oooh, I used to LOVE the Viking Ship. Not sure I'd have the guts to go on it now, though. When did I become chicken?

And what exactly is a cow doing on that balcony?!?

that looks like such fun! Funny you should mention Darmstadt; we used to live up in Bad Nauheim, 40 kms north of Frankfurt. I think Darmstadt has got the BEST Mexican restaurant in Germany :)
I am playing today, my TT is up: http://cmonover4coffee.blogspot.com/

Oh, how I hate spinny rides. I don't understand why folks like to be made dizzy.

Mine's up, but you knew that ;)
