Haha, just imagine I’m actually working – got lessons all morning and in the afternoon.
It’s sometime early in the morning … don’t know exactly when.
I went along once but it was so crowded and snowy that I didn’t get much from it.
So Anne, I’ll be looking forward to your report if you make it!
Cheers,
Jxx

Yes, I’ve heard about the flea performance at the ‘Wiesn’ but have never actually experienced it. Something to watch out for in 2010.
And on this Tuesday, Shrove Tuesday, the Marktweiber do their dancing at the Viktualienmarkt – have you ever seen them in action?
So happy Fasching / Mardi Gras and have a nice Sunday.
Joan

Hi Joan, reminds me of the flea circus at the Oktoberfest. Have you ever been? “Teaching” a fly to juggle like this … that’s essentially how the flea “trainer” works his magic too. Wouldn’t have any application for our teaching, now would it? I wish our science teachers at school had had zany ideas like this. Who knows, I might have grown up to be Madame Curie.
Have a good Sunday!

Nice little insight on a snowy Saturday afternoon – with nature at its best!
Thanks Anne,
