I'm Baaaackkk

It's just me, Pete. After joining Mary back in the USA, she is staying to complete her 30+ year at Medary Acres Greenhouse until about mid June. I will head back there to join her shortly. So, now that I'm back in Germany, I better start blogging. Start with a short one...

Just tonight, I was headed into town to watch the Germany/Swiss Hockey WORLD Championships (Germany beat USA a few weeks ago and I have not heard the end of it). As I was trying to find a parking space, I turned a corner and there was a crowd surrounded by a bunch of beer-branded patio umbrellas. Yes, another festival ! This one is called KranzPlatzFest... presumably named after the plat or park it's held at. 2 music stages, beer and wine tents, Wurst mit brot stands. These people know festivals. I think this has something to do with the 3-day holiday in Europe - Monday is Whit Monday or Pentecost. Good enough reason to have a festival starting on Thursday and ending Monday night.

Woohoo... will get pictures over the weekend and share. Oh, and Germany is leading Swiss 1-0 after the 2nd period. Not one fight and awesome skating.
Tschus!
