Yesterday was my lovely wife’s birthday, and it just happen to coincide with the Oktoberfest celebration at the German Embassy.  So, it was an easy gift to her from me.

I’m not a social dancer, so I just enjoyed sitting and watching others and spending time outside under the smoker’s tent with the rain coming down.  I will always meet interesting people while there.  Below, the people are starting to fill in.

Then comes the best part.  The food. Below is a friend of ours enjoying the feast.And here is a couple of pictures of a beer fest lady.  One, with one of the beer girls who stood for several hours doing nothing but pour beer. Below is a good friend of ours who works in the health unit at the Embassy.  I gave her one of mom’s books a few months ago.  As the night progressed, the music became louder, the beer kept flowing and people kept dancing.And below is a picture of a perfectly contented lady on her perfect birthday.Drink beer and eat well.   … and keep kicking butt.      D.
