The St Patrick's Day party was a hit. Why do I know this, here is the evidence we woke up to yesterday:
1. Sticky floors
2. Broken glass
3. Photos of Brian in a fantastic leprechaun outfit
4. Only a few dried up smears of all the green foods we had - spinach dip, guacamole, veggies and dip, wasabi peanuts, etc.
5. Many beer bottles to bring back to the liquor store to get our deposits back
6. Gifts that our guests brought, including various bottles of wine, an orchid, marzipan, a German copy of Waking Ned Devine on DVD, and a CD of a song about Barack Obama being Irish.
7. Dizzy and Sonja, visiting from Hamburg and sleeping in our guest room.
It was a good party. It was even worth all the cleaning up.

About Me
- Julia
- Thanks for coming to my blog. It started as a way to keep in touch with family and friends, and now has become an ongoing project. I'm an American living in Germany and trying to travel whenever I can. I write about my experiences as an expatriate (the interesting ones and the embarrassing ones), and about my travels. There are some recurring characters in this blog, particularly my husband Brian and several of our friends. The title comes from the idea that living in a foreign country means making a lot of mistakes. So the things you used to do easily you now have to try over and over again. Hopefully, like me, you can laugh at how idiotic it feels. If you have happened upon my blog, then welcome. Knowing that people are reading what I write makes me keep going. Feel free to write comments or suggestions for future posts.
