BBQ

Fleur trying to light the grill

 Back in May the weather turned from cold to gorgeous, the grass and leaves flourished, and we hosted an American-style BBQ, complete with American BBQ sauce.  Fleur and Katie - who had spent the first semester in Austria but the second semester in other countries, came back to visit.  Mostly we just had a great time hanging out, eating and drinking, and singing oldies and really bad 90s songs at the top of our lungs.  Needless to say, we had a blast.

Matt photobombed our nice picture.  This is a common theme in pictures with Matt

We schlepped the watermelon (and the grill!) the whole way from my apartment to the park.

Yum.

Dave and Maija.  Dave went around the circle of people and hugged everyone

Dinner the following night at Bärenwirt, a wirtshaus along the river

Augustiner beer, only the best beer in Salzburg (perhaps the world)

Nick and his knödel (dumpling) the size of a cannonball

Schnitzel Cordon Bleu, made into a little monster.  We might be teachers but that doesn't mean we're too old to play with our food.
