It's that time of year again--Fruhlingsfest Time! The Germans begin Fest season (that's what I call it) in the Spring. I think they like celebrating and getting out after a long, generally cold winter. There is practically a Fest going on each weekend in Stuttgart. There probably is one happening each weekend, if not in Stuttgart, than somewhere within driving distance. I took the U Bahn to get here. It was a quick ride. I am being good and only buying one dirdle. So far. But I love them. I may buy another one yet. Maybe I will make a pilgrimage to Muchen (home of Oktoberfest) and acquire another one. I think a dirdle is the first thing all American girls buy in Germany. ha ha For 35 Euro, you receive a half fest-chicken and 3 beir (beer) tokens. The beir is a liter. Yes, that is a lot to drink. Yes, I did not drink all 3. I had 2 1/2. Once the evil waitress gave me a regular beir. I did not finish that one. I like Radler best. This is a mixture of beir and sprite. Don't hate until you have tried one. And if you are going to a Fest, take my word for it, you can't just drink all that German beir. It has a higher alcohol content. You will end up on the ground. Or something. I am not taking any chances. The beir "tent":

2 1/2 minus the sprite leaves 1 1/4 of beer. Lightweight. Haha.
