This is an amazing time of year in those countries that celebrate Christianity. Celebrations of Carnival abound and one of my favorites is in Basel, Switzerland. At this very moment, thousands of people are dressed in new costumes representing all sorts of imaginative creations from the past and present. They are aimlessly marching in the streets of Basel; some playing their piccolos, some drumming their drums, some playing musical instruments and some throwing all sorts of goodies to the huge crowds that adorn the sidewalks to see them. To be there right now would alight your inner spirit with a renewed sense of joy, happiness and positive energy toward this thing we call life. To witness Basel Fasnacht in person, is to be in the perfect place, at the perfect moment in time.
While I'm here in San Diego w-i-s-h-i-n-g so hard I was in Basel right now, at least my heart is with my friends there.
If you ever, ever, get the opportunity to visit Basel for this carnival celebration, you must do so. It will be one of the happiest times of your life.
