Let me tell you about Fashing!

Ok I forgot one big event I wanted to tell everyone about.  Fashing!! This is pretty much like Mardi Gras for the Germanys.  It's a week of parties and events and just overall debauchery.  So  the first event we participated in was dinner at this local beer hall in Parkinkirchen, or at least what we thought would be a low key dinner.  If you looks at my facebook picture you will see the amount of beers that were drank during this dinner.  So during dinner all these people with mask kept walking in.. Some of them we like Mexican themed some were doctors, some were just little old women.. The mask were great tho.. They get passed down from generation to generation so they are super old and a little scary.  Anyways these masked people literally pour drinks down your throat.  Some are good.. And some tasted like straight gasoline. Overall I give this night a 10! These masked people hung out with us all night.. BUT WE NEVER SAW THERE FACES.... They drink their beers and drinks in the way that you never get to see their faces... It was crazy loco!

The next night was the costume party.  I first wanted to go as a black Bella from the Twilight series, but I could not get my friend Shane to go as Edward so that was scratched. (Sorry boob and Rachel) ... I went in Toga instead.... Let me just tell you this ladies... you should not wear a toga to a party with 500 people!! It will get ripped off you.. That is enough said about that night...:) It was just too much fun. 

The last night of Fashing was hut to hut.  So technically you are suppose start at the top of the alpiztbahn ( the top of the mountain) and sled down.  This to me sounded like a good way to break my arm so I decided to snowboard instead.  So basically there are like 4 huts on your way down the mountain and you stop and dance and drink a lot at each one... I myself decided to fill my camel pack with a 5th of Jim Beam.. Lets just say I don't really remember the last hut or getting down the mountain. Oh yeah and did I mention that this is all occurring at like 11:00 at night. Yeah it was a fun adventure.  Head lamps were a must..

The next day you are suppose to repent and go to church for ash Wednesday.I would say half the people I live with were all in church that day...  It was a great week in Garmisch!!!

Love you mean it!
