Two parties down - two to go

Last weekend we celebrated already with my parents and their friends in the castle in Bourscheid. I think everybody had a lot of fun, the weather was almost perfect, the food excellent and the atmosphere joyful. Around 80 people followed the invitation and I think the surroundings of the medieval castle gave something special to this event. After a 1h drink until everybody arrive, we sat down and had a very good meal. Before the desert, we all got up and went outside to release a hundred balloons with sparklers into the dark sky. They were supposed to fly to Milan.....has anybody seen one in Milan. We would love to know :-)

Afterwards we enjoyed some sweets including the famous "Baamkuch" and then we danced and celebrated until early in the morning.

Unless somebody tells me otherwise, I think we all had a lot of fun and everything was perfectly organised. Thanks again to my mother, my sister, my dad and of course Gerty, who were all responsible for the organisation and made this day a special one.

On Sunday, the second party with some 60 of my friends at our hunting chalet was also a success. Again, we were blessed with the weather and while we rushed in the morning to get everything organsised, the afternoon turned into a very relaxed get-together. I think some people were actually happy to catch up with some other they did not see for a while. A very big tank you to my family again for the organisation and especially to Luss for the excellent food. I saw people who went back several time to the BBQ and also to the salads and the deserts.

So all in all, a very successful weekend.

This weekend we're off to Milan to do the final checks and then we all set to go. 9 days to go.....
