Welcome Party!!


René's friends threw us one fabulous Welcome Party just days after we arrived in Düsseldorf. They cooked homemade classic German dishes, such as Haxe, Erbsen Suppe, Bretzeln, Weiss Wurst, and Mettigel. Unbelievably delicious! They brought over warm food, plenty of beer and festive German-themed decorations to make me feel welcome in my new home... it was a wonderfull night.

"Looping Louis" - a children's game which has dangerously gotten into the hands of these adults. When mixed with vodka or other liquor, this game can provide hours of entertainment and fun for the whole family.

Want some chicken? (actually Haxe)


Surprise! They brought me a costume to wear throughout the evening.... a traditional Bavarian "Dirndl" for girls.

Mettigel dish demolished... by the end of the party only the snout of the hedgehog remains.
