The team poses for a group shot with some of the friendly folks dressed up for Carnaval.
After our game on Saturday, the team made our way along the coastal walkway in Dunkerque to the restaurant where we were having our post-game meal. The annual Carnaval festival was in full swing and the revelers were out in full force, providing the team with a slightly more interesting walk.
Carnaval is basically a huge Mardi Gras type festival where revelers dress up in various costumes and parade around the town. Of course with such festivities comes the inevitable parties and carousing around the town as people let loose and celebrate. There are lots of traditional French songs that are sung as well as a few traditions that I didn't totally understand the significance of, but seemed to add to the atmosphere.
Captain Sly borrowed a cap and glasses to set the tone for the evening.
Even our coach, Dmitri, joined in the fun as he modelled some outrageous hair and sunglasses.
Romain and David M. get involved in a little dancing with some party goers.
