Patras Carnival (Patrino Karnavali) with Andreas, Georgia, Adi and Laura

After our Fulbright adventure (1997) Georgia and Andreas invited us to return for the famous Patras Karnavali - and of course Adi and Laura were part of this continuation. The Patrino Karnavali (Patras Carnival) is probably the 2nd or 3rd most famous Carinval in the world - behind Rio and New Orleans. For us, it was our first adventure with being real clowns - and here is our story.

We started our preparations in Charleston
