CARNIVAL AND SCHOOL

How was your week?
I packed mine with activities to keep me entertained while most of my friends went to Lapland, Finland.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 2012.

While the girls were gone there were four of us in the class. This was a great chance for a detailed oenology (wine) class.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 2012.

Some friends and I decided to go back to Lucerne. There is more to the city that we couldn't get to see at night. 

We started out exploring at 'The Lucerne Lion.'

It is carving of a dying Lion.' It was done in 1820-21, to commemorate the swiss guards who were killed in 1972 during the French Revolution.

Then we continued to view the nine towers. 

The Musegg Wall is a part of the old rampart walls which was built in 1386, the wall is still entirely intact. 

The nine towers are known by the names Maennli, Nolli, Luegisland, Heu, Pulver, Allenwinden, Dachli,Schirmer and Zyt tower. All these towers are historic site museum and are the portion of the old city of Altstadt. 

We were too tired to see them all ... this is the 1st one. 

Then you got to know face paintings are for big kids too :)

In this carnival not only the performers had costumes and masks but the normal people who come out alone of with there families to support have their own costumes.

The music from the different bands were exceptional it was a combination of jazz and blues and something else, im not too sure.

The celebration lasts for a week starting on Feb 16- 22, on sat it ended around 4pm. We just relaxed for the remainder of the afternoon, got a pizza and took our train back to Montreux.
