| Grandma & Pops made it! |
Grandma and Pops have now arrived at the “Hoff Month of
Guests Festival” and what a better way to celebrate than to take them to
another local. So today we all
hopped on the train and were surrounded by women wearing dirndls and men in
lederhosen as we made our way to what is considered to be the second largest
beer festival in the world after the Munich Oktoberfest.
The Cannstatter Volksfest originated in 1818 and is an
annual three-week festival right here in Stuttgart, Germany. Granted the “Hoff festival” doesn’t
have fancy roller coasters, or the background music of a thousand people
singing in on of the many large beer gartens, but it was also festive when we
returned home sitting on the back porch telling funny stories. (I am thankful
none of them starting singing beer songs on our back porch since the dog can
howl loud and the neighbors now know us).
But isn’t that really what all festivals aim for in the long run; people
laughing and just enjoying being together? I think this crowd enjoyed both types today!
