I guess the first major event I missed blogging about was the joint 'holiday' event of Mifflin + Rhein in Flammen, together lovingly dubbed by the Madisonians as Mifflin am Rhein. My Badgers and friends came over around 11 am and we feasted on the single greatest brunch ever created by a rag tag group of 20 people in a foreign country. I'm talking pancakes with honey syrup, bacon, bread, a dozen types of meats and cheeses, oranges, bananas, juice.. basically so much delicious. And a necessary start to Mifflin! We made a beer pong table out of my two kitchen tables, hung Kevin's Wisconsin flag on the window, and spent the entire day hanging out :]
After a döner pit stop, we all headed to the Rheinaue Park for the most epic fireworks show I have ever seen in my life. It was similar to Rhythm and Booms in that it was set to music, but the music ranged from traditional German drinking songs to love odes to the Rhein to modern dance music. We laid out on the grass and had an amazing view. The fireworks were shot off from boats on the Rhein! There was also a bona-fide carnival set up, with rides and game stands throughout the park. I bought a delicious banana chocolate crepe, nom chomsky.
Since there were nine billion people leaving via subway at the same time, we decided it'd be much saner to just walk back towards my place. I ended up catching the U-bahn at a stop or two past the Rheinaue that took me right home. There wasn't even that much of a mess in my kitchen after that full day! We kind of overflowed the recycling bin though :3
The group! <3
Hannah und ich...
...before she dropped nutella on my shoe and I had to spend the rest of the day a little more mismatched that normal XD
Badger girls
I'm really glad we pulled off planning our own little Mifflin while abroad! I love our t-shirts and had a great day with some great people. The most exciting thing is that we can all continue partying hardy back in Madison next semester!
