A few weekends ago, we enjoyed the third largest Karneval in the world here in Rijeka. I don't want to upset anyone, Croatia's Karneval was nice, but it didn't seem to be very large and probably not the third largest (just smaller than Rio and Venice). It was fun to watch all the groups and great creativity in costumes and vehicles.

Two of my teammates, Alexis and Taylor, and a few friends were in the parade. All in all, it was the best Karneval I have ever seen and almost worth the 2.5 hours I stood there to watch half of it!

Below is a few pics from the parade.











People as dinner above, some statement of frustration to the right (this is not offensive, because it's not me making the gesture), and caged children-monkeys below.











Our buddy, Dario, right in the yellow as Bluto, the arch-villain of Popeye.
















Crazy spacemen above and vampires to the right
