Mother's Day 2008

Mutterstag!

This year, my German friends decided to celebrate mother's day the way the men celebrate father's day. In Germany, father's day literally means, a day for the fathers. They go out drinking with all the guys and everything is closed for the entire day (Always on a Thursday). So, seven of us rented a bike made for seven and rode from one village to the next and back again. The bike is too difficult to describe, so you'll have to check out the pictures. It was loads of fun and quite funny. We had a wagon area for drinks and such and a table in the middle (for which to serve the drinks on...). At least twenty people stopped to take pictures of us and we were even in the local paper in one of the villages! The one man in the pictures is actually the owner of the bike and was demonstrating how it operates.
