We went to the Maibock festival on Sunday and I’m very glad we did.<\/p>\n

We took route 29 all the way to the festival because of the need for sunblock and hitting our bank. On our way Michael noticed a very interesting looking car behind us, he switched lanes and let it pass us, it was a black Lamborghini. I’d never actually seen one driving on a road before, what a lovely machine.<\/p>\n

We arrived shortly after noon, each of us picked up a 23 oz souvenir mug filled with beer and a Bockwurst on a roll. I went for the Helles Bock, which I was told was a bit hoppy for a Bock, but that’s how I like it. We met up with Kathy and David, a couple who we met at a Belgian beer tasting last weekend, and spent the day with them. Around 2 made it up, finished with the Broad Street Run and ready to see some goat racing! By then I was finishing off my second Helles Bock and we had an enjoyable time watching the goat races, where Han the goat won the right to have a Maibock named after him.<\/p>\n

The German Oompa music<\/a> was a delight, I felt very German there with my German style beer in hand. People there at the festival were a generallyfriendly bunch, which was great to see. The weather was absolutely perfect, sunny, warm. I’m very glad that Michael had the bright idea of getting some sunblock on the way there, as I would have been burnt to a crisp otherwise – as it is it’s pretty obvious where I missed putting lotion on. And my beer drinking arm (hah!) is a bit red, having held it in the same position with my glass all day, directly in the sun.<\/p>\n

After the race we each got a glass of the newly named Han Maibock and sat down in the parking lot to enjoy it and chat. In a conversation spurred on by my ownership of PrincessLeia.com we found out that Kathy is on the board for the Patrick Stewart fan club<\/a>. She’s pretty heavily into the sci-fi thing, which was great to hear about.<\/p>\n

I also found a goat in my Maibock. You know how you get a little silly when you get tipsy, well I was staring into my glass and saw a goat made out of foam! I showed it off, everyone was quite amused.<\/p>\n

Around 5 David and Kathy got a couple six-packs and headed out. Michael, and I went inside to get some more substantial food for dinner. We parting after eating and went home, where I promptly drank 25 gallons of water and took a nap ;D When I finally got up I watched the latest episode of Doctor Who<\/i> and chilled out with Caligula.<\/p>\n

\"cheers!\"<\/a>

Michael is hosting the rest of the photos from the day here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Monday morning I got out of bed at 5:30, thanks to that fantastic kitty I have. So I packed up my backpack and headed out to the gym. It was a good morning, 5 miles on the bike, then about a half hour of swimming laps in the pool. I spent about an hour and a half there, including time taken to shower and everything, not bad for a Monday morning. I figure I’ll go to the gym two mornings and one evening a week, at the very least. I’m hoping I can either meet up with Michael or Nita on that one evening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
