The beer was flowing, but everyone behaved, at least temporarily. I would say a good time was had by all, wouldn't you?

Carnival Time
We visited good friends--we'd spent five years together in Japan--in The Netherlands on Sunday. It happened to be the day of the year when cities and towns host their own "Carnaval" parades, which tend to be--in true Carnival fashion--wildly-creative, silly, and fun. Merkelbeek's celebration didn't disappoint; the village parade came right down the street in front of our friends' house, so that was an unexpected treat for us.
