Goesele Birthday's 2.0

So 2009 brought about two mile stones... my 30th birthday and my father's 60th! Freakin 90 years of Goesele. As we all know life can be quite hectic and we can't be everywhere all the time....but some things you just have to re-celebrate properly when you have a chance to. Especially when you finally live on the same continent! So this past weekend was spent in Germany giving the occasion all the laughter, beer and adventure it deserved.

I think the best way to make this work is to break the cities (aka adventures) into individual posts. We started the journey with a long hike up to a 16th century chapel in Saxony, where we proceed to light a few candles for friends and family going through tough times. Followed by a few museum visits, a stroll through Halle's city center and a "Night of Science" at my father's Max Planck Institute along with various other universities around town. Sausages and beer galour in true German fashion. A day filled with thought provoking conversation, plenty of sun and a great variety of culture.
