Dear Friends and Family,
This
is just a quick diary to record our village's annual "Dorffest".
Mostly, just some pictures.

The volunteer fire station is the center of the village activities, and
of the festival.

The
kids contest to stack and climb beer cases is a standard village
festival attraction.
This year there was also a juggling school.

After five years of going to the Great Annual Pommersfelden Village
Festival, we actually felt at home (even though we STILL don't
understand the local dialect!)

post
script: My only other social engagement recently was a business meeting
up in Frankfurt. I'll take the opportunity to throw in one
picture from that, so I can remember the good parts of working: the
people. (only three more work days left!)
