Rock the cashbah!

Saturday did start on a negative tone as the theft-security-system of our car was for a so far undetected reason faulty and we could not starte the engine and drive home after Tosca. So we were back in teenage years and Heidi did pick us up at 0045. The morning was then characterised by checking out an available Peugeot garage (not easy as holiday season and saturdays they are generally closed anyway) and organizing our car to be towed there. Once we reached the destination, to make things worse, the energysaving function did not allow us to close the front windows anymore!!! So we sealed them with plastic cover and keep our fingers crosses noone takes the opportunity until monday morning to empty our car...

The rest of the day we more or less built up energy and enthusiasm for the big party organised by Kerstin's uncle Werner, the super-top-fit 60 year old (fitter than 80% of guys half his age!!). With the Erlachstrassen fest, a neighbourhood party, he lives up to one of his retirement/birthday promises to revive this event. Inspired by his recent trip to San Sebastian and the Bruce Springsteen concert there (including conversation with and autograph from THE BOSS) he fired up the party with rocking tunes, games for the kids, a large variety of salads, all sort of meat and sausages, cakes and loads of Mohren, the best local brew in Markus' opinion.

For sunday we have planned a hiking tour, so an early start is likely. Stay tuned for more information!
