But Week 7 was a shortened work week, since I would be taking my first vacation day on Friday, to visit Pat & Katherine Snyder on their honeymoon. They got married on June 27th in Asheville NC, but it was just too quick for me to fly back. Nadine & I were able to camp in Alabama with Pat & Katherine last year over Memorial Day Weekend, so the couples know each other real well!
Before the fun could begin, I got my first urgent deadline at work. A project got put on my desk, with a deadline of Friday. But since I was out on Friday, that became Thursday (yikes!). I worked my tail off, and even had to work at home each night. It was a pretty intense 4 days, but I wanted to impress the team, so I made sure I got it done. And since adidas does flex time, I could count the extra hours towards my work week.
And on Thursday night, the engineering team headed down to the Herzo beer fest taking place in Herzo. It was quite small (for beer fest standards), but every town in Germany one, and its always good fun. Especially people sing indifferent language.
We all had a few beers, and even got up on the tables and danced. Its what you do at beer fests. I also walked around a found a USA hot dog stand. It was quite entertaining to see.
But after a few beers, I retired early, as I had an early morning train to catch. I was off to see Pat & Katherine!
Look in the lower right... David K is playing!
Clever picture with a street mirror!
All the bikes riden to the Herzo beer fest (including me)
Step right up and order. what could be so tough?!
My first cold one of the evening
Herzo beer fest main area... big, but small for beer fest
Another view of the tables & stage
Standing on the tables... as the Germans do at beerfests!
And of Course... a silly USA hot dog stand at the beer fest
