The Emperor is alife and kicking though - even if it doesn´t seem that way:
My "little" Bro, the Musketeer and soon-to-be-husband on the historical parade in Wolfenbüttel. Temps were over 30 C and I can see it´s not funny to run around in clothes like this for 1 1/2 hours with a heavy weapon!
I couldn´t get a better pic, there were just so many people!
These guys wear really thick fabrics:
This poor man wears a thick wig:
Man I hope I´m fit like this man when I reach that age:
A funeral procession:
The fire brigade:
One of those butchers handed us sausages, yum:
A vintage car:
Max and Moritz were there, too (despite the fact that they come from Mechtshausen, some 50 km away):
These were a little freaky, really. West-Germany luckily was "taken" by the USA after WW II:
Here I thought, awww, feels like being back on Cuba:
Right so! Belongs to the Kuba-Museum Wolfenbüttel (German). I won´t pay a visit there, though - it´s not featuring Cuba but "Kuba Tonmöbel", old radios, TVs and such.
Sure, when you are in Wolfenbüttel you get to see people running around in T-Shirts featuring Jägermeister - they have their headquarters there:
Turn on the sound, these guys are really good:
Certainly on a historical parade these Trabbis have to show up, too - DDR, or East Germany was close by:
This guy was not so lucky:
And this guy was hot :-):
Even a King Frog was there, kinda:
It was a great parade, really.
You say, naahhhh, on occasions like this you get ripped off for parking your car?
Yips, guess so,
We came by bike.
On a hot day like this! 30 km (both ways) - it was exhausting!
Shadow came only when we reached Braunschweig again. And these sights are rewarding, no? Was hard to not jump in the water!
Work has got me back.
Or work, is it?
One of my colleages cheerily greeted me with "welcome to the Club again!!". Drinks came not around though ;-)
Please keep your fingers crossed - finally for tomorrow another job-interview came around for Ingo.

Looks like a lot of fun!
Wishing Ingo lots of luck for his interview :)
Your parade looked very interesting. I loved the guy pushing his Trabbi. Is he so proud of it or is it a load of rubbish? We have a saying in Oz - I'd rather push my Ford than drive a Holden. Translate that into German and it probably goes "I'd rather push my Trabbi than drive a Porsche".
