I am going on an adventure!

"I am going on an adventure!" cries Bilbo Baggins, when he is running after the dwarfs, and the worst thing that he thinks can happen to him is that he forgot to pack his hankerchief. Almost the same thing said my friend John, when he came all the way from Helsinki by motorcycle, and the fact that he might have forgotten his hanky did not seem to frighten him in the least. It is amazing what he is able to fit into the little trunk of his posh BMW motorbike....

He is a good, long-time friend and we hardly ever see him, so we were happy to welcome him in our home - with or without his hanky! First a toast to the first see in a long time...

 

... then the boys arm wrestled a bit as you do when you are happy to finally meet up again.

 

 

Then we went to the Stockerwirt for some nice dinner. It was a lovely evening of early Summer, the sun was shining until late, and the nature was at its nicest around here.

 

 

And a toast again of course!  

 

 

For dinner we had soup (tomato and Asparagus), Bauernschnitzel (John), Tafelspitz (Stefan and me), and Tichy icecream and Cremeschnitte for dessert. Yum, yum! It was excellent!

 

It was a good evening full of old memories, updates on life and interesting discussions. And the starry sky that showed over our home place before we all went to bed was awesome, I even saw a falling star! (I did not put it in my pocket, though.)

Our friend left much too early the next morning. Thank you for being here, JJ, you are a wonderful guest! And we are hoping for another reunion very soon in the Future! And thank you for the MARSKIN RYYPY - we will not drink it but put it up on display, and whenever we look at it we will think of absent friends.....
