Happy Birthday Sebastian! Hoch soll er leben!

Sebastian, on the right, with some of his co-workers at the bar. Notice the little red glasses - that is the Schnaps his family made.

Sebastian and his sister Jessica assess the situation behind the bar.

Hard at work.... and drawing good Urkrostitzer beer from just north of Leipzig.

Ja, hoch soll er leben, dreimal hoch! Yesterday - Friday - evening was Sebastian's birthday party. Since he has worked in one of the university sponsored bars as a bartender for several years, he threw the party there. It was a good time to visit with his family, his friends from the university, and enjoy some good German beer from the keg, along with some Schnaps made by Sebastian's family with Vodka and a local berry. Unfortunately, I had to leave early, since I had to get up early today to teach (on Saturday morning!), but Sebastian told me the last guests left at 3:15 am., so he was home a little after 4 am. And today it is gray, cold, and raining, so we are simply hanging low to wait for some sun tomorrow. I hope your weekend is going well too....
