Glad you made it. Nice expedition log. I am sorry I could not be there. --Hermann (talk) 20:01, 13 November 2015 (EST) (By the way, those people were probably celebrating St. Martin's Day a few days late. Never saw one walking an actual horse, though.)

Thank you. And yes, St. Martin's day is it! From that article it seems to be a tradition in all of Germany, not just Hamburg? -- OtherJack (talk) 19:33, 14 November 2015 (EST)
Indeed, it is a tradition in all of Germany, but - to be honest - the number of people celebrating events like these has become astoundingly small. In fact, I cannot even remember the last time I saw a St. Martin's procession in Hamburg. You got lucky there. It is more common in southern germany, I guess. --Hermann (talk) 06:58, 15 November 2015 (EST)
Cool! -- OtherJack (talk) 07:27, 15 November 2015 (EST)
