Alaaf! Recapping Maastricht's Carnival 2010

As promised on Monday, I’ve prepared a more complete report of our experience with Carnival 2010. I know it is long, but that’s why this blog is called “Maastricht Minutiae” instead of “Maastricht in Short, Vague Bits” (which probably would be easier to write for). Anyhoo…over the next week I will be posting a series of articles, roughly one for each day of Carnival.
 

As each post goes up I will link them here:

1. Friday & Saturday: Pre-Carnival
2. Sunday: A Strong Beginning
3. Monday: Calm with a Side of Drum Band
4. Tuesday: Closing Out Carnival

 
If you only want the photos, you can find my Carnival Flickr collection here.
 
And since I obviously can’t get enough of this subject, here are links to some other topical posts:

• Expat’s First Carnival or Why I Attend Cultural Events (Maastricht Region: to live)
• So where was I yesterday? (Walking the Lethe)
• Carnivale Costumes (Random Walks in the Low Country)
• Throw me somthing, Mister! (A Flamingo in Utrecht)
• Carnival 2010-The Big Picture (Boston Globe)

   I get goose bumps looking at your great pics..after being with my husband for 10 years can you believe I’ve never experienced Carnaval? Travesty! Can’t wait to finally be there in person next year. My husband also says thanks for sharing the pics..he thoroughly enjoyed them
