Deutsch-Amerikanisches Volkfest...jawohl!

In Berlin I stayed with Ines, Volker, and Anton for a few days. It was so nice to see them all again. Like always they spoiled me rotten and took very good care of me during my stay. To top it all off, they took me to the Deutsch-Amerikanisches Volkfest (German-American folk festival). It was hilarious! If any of you reading this are from my hometown, I felt like I was at Fortfest again. It was extremely interesting to see the interpretation of the U.S. in this little festival. I was sad to see nothing from Wisconsin or Minnesota. There was however a picture of a cornfield which represented Illinois. My favorite part was all the German cowboys wondering around. No wait, maybe it was the line-dancing; I can't really decide. Bingo topped the charts too. All in all it was a night to remember.

Ines and I after I won the grand prize in bingo...just kidding.

Anton, the champion bull rider...yes, there was even bull riding.
