karohemdOn Monday evening, I had quick dinner at home and walked into town centre for the closing ceremony. I found a spot which I thought to be rather ideal to take photos of the mayor's balcony from until two people in front of me took their kids onto their shoulders, blocking my view. As I was already in the crowd, I couldn't move so sadly, no photos from there, except for a few shots of the balloons flying off into the distance.
After the ceremony, I followed the masses to the fairground and found a good spot to take photos of the Spielmannszug (a traditional marching band) riding on the kids' merry-go-round, which is always good fun. It was a bit shorter than usual, though, so as I switched cameras to take a short video, they stopped. :o(
Walked around the fairground a bit, ate a skewer of strawberries coated in dark chocolate and ran into a friend. We chatted a bit while she waited for her pizza and we waited for our other friend to arrive. She did shortly after so we found a seat and caught up on life and things. Afterwards we strolled around the fairground a bit, bought some more food and then saw Astrid off as she had to get up early the next morning. Bubble and I then took a ride on the ferris wheel which was perfect timing as the sun had just set and there was some great light.
Afterwards, we sat in the wine garden and chatted about things, me mostly about Antarctica. :o)
Just before midnight, I said good-bye, walked home and spent a few hours making a photo preview and wasting my parents' money online.
Tuesday was lazy day, slept in, had lunch, finished the photo preview (now online on flickr) and took a long nap.
After dinner, I gave my parents a quick introduction to laptop, PC and Word *groan*), then watched some interesting TV and came online to upload photos, chat with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
