Today is father’s day here.

It’s also Christi Himmelfahrt (Ascension day), which is a public holiday.

That means everyone also takes off Friday. And most people haven’t been working all week. All I seemed to get were out of office replies yesterday.

The weather is finally schön! so I met up with a friend and went on a hike in the hills outside of Frankfurt.

The town of Königstein – where the kings used to live.

My friend told me that on father’s day, all the dads get together and…get drunk.

As we were hiking through the forest, we came upon 5 men drinking beer and pulling a cart with a boombox (I guess they had it already prepared from the May 1st wine walk).

They were literally walking through the woods, getting drunk, listening to Eminem.

Looking forward to the rest of the spirit weekend, including drinking wine by the river, enjoying the sunshine and doing lots of yoga!
