Today was a great day. It started early for me, 0600. I had to meet the guys to go golfing at 0700. Where to get breakfast? Could I find a place for breakfast? The restaurant in the hotel opened at 0630 and granola with strawberries was great. Then, on to golf. There were only 13 of us played golf. It turned out thqt some of us had to play threesomes in stead of foursomes. I was extremely fortunate to play with two really great guys--my former company commander (Ev) and a fellow (Dave) I had not met until today. Dave consistently hit great shots, while Ev and I let him carry us. I did win a prize for hitting the farthest putt on one of the holes. All-in-all it was fantastic. The weather cooperated by being cool and dry.
Maryann went on a tour and did some shopping. She went to a local winery and said that the tour was very informative and the wine was quite good. So good, in fact, she bought a bottle of pinot grigio to take with us to PA.
Tonight we went to a local Octoberfest. The food was typically German and the beer was too. I will post some photos in a later posting of the event.
We did get to spend time with old friends who we don't get to see very often. Tomorrow, Maryann and I will be doing something on our own. Tomorrow evening will be the banquet and dance. I plan to get some photos of those events as well.
Serve well!
