Detroit Expat Summer Weekend

What a perfect weekend - summer, sunshine, sausage! This years Detroit expat reunion was perfectly organized from our hosts in Thueringen - in the eastern part of Germany. We did beautiful hikes along the Rennsteig, had tons of the famous sausages (got even a surprise sausage snack on our hike!), had a beautiful lake (with really cold water), several birthdays to celebrate with cakes and fireworks, plenty of good drinks

....and after our serious preparation in the night before the game with a lot of expert talk....even a German soccer festival!!! Thank you for the organization - it was blast! See you all hopefully soon!
