Wilkommen!


For dinner one night, we went the German restaurant named Biergarten (gee, I wonder what that translates into?) In any case, this was most definitely our least favorite of the restaurants that we visited. Fortunately, though, it wasn't because of the lack of entertainment or the tremendous atmosphere. As you can see from the picture above, we had a great time taking in authentic German music and dancing--complete with liederhosen! In addition, everyone, and I do mean everyone, drank beer at this place. How do we know?

Well, this restaurant does buffet style dining along with forced socialization--meaning that you have to eat your meal with complete strangers. And since we don't drink, we were immediately asked why. This of course gives you a great opening to talk about the gospel (which we did to a small degree) but mostly they're surprised that anyone could live without beer. I'm wondering how anyone can live with it.

In any case, the folks we met were all nice (one was a Broncos fan from Ohio or something--the other was from Gaithersburg, Maryland. And yes, Catherine. We did talk about you quite a bit. :)

But even though this was by far the worst food, we still enjoyed ourselves. The entire inside is decorated to appear as if it's Oktoberfest--with the leaves on the trees being the appropriate colors. In addition, they invite everyone up for dancing during your meal. Mostly the kids go up there and strut their stuff and that's fun to watch. And while it was still fun, we know that we won't be going back.
