The Original - Munich Octoberfest!














This year we finally had the opportunity to visit and celebrate the original Octoberfest in Munich - that meant: get dressed in your dirndl and lederhosen, survive a packed subway ride, be on time at 11am in the tent to make your spot, drink a lot and dance inside.... and in the end dance home in the rain! Thanks a lot to our hosts and organizers for a fun day!

The wedding of Molly and Ben






















What a party - the wedding of Molly and Ben was outstanding. A fairytale wedding in a castle, a sightseeing bus trip around the town of Leipzig (with a bar in the bus!), lots of games and fun and many old friends to dance with - even the preparation at the presidents and the transport back was outstanding....

Wedding weekend in Leipzig







What an event - for Ben and Molly's weeding a big group of us gathered in Leipzig to celebrate with them - we all lived in the US in the last few years and finally everybody came together for a big party. The evening before the ceremony was like a school reunion - and ended in the early morning with some burgers after all the beers and cheers!

Sardinia - Where we stayed









Most of our trip we stayed in local Agriturismo (little farms that build some apartments on their grounds to make some money) - sometimes with beautiful gardens, other times with sheep in the front yard and pretty views to the coast. They offered local food (some of it was interesting - like goat liver or goat cheese for breakfast...)
Some vehicles in the south looked very interesting and the Madonna in the garden was a must have.

Sardinia - beaches - and the winner is: Cala Domestica






Ok getting there with a 2 year old was a bit challenging - but the little hike to Cala Domestica was worth it - you come thru the little tunnel and find a hidden beach - beautiful. The water there was cold (the only spot on the whole trip - weird!)
A little south it the Pan Zucchero - a stunning few along the coastal line of the South West.
