Our favorite local restaurant, "Pineta"...
...is just up the street, nestled in the tall pines of the Klovensteen Forst. Proprietess Edda Huber and her loyal staff tolerate our broken German (well Meg's is quite good, but she is still shy about using it outside of die Schule) and treat us as family. My mother will recall the warm reception, to say nothing of the grapa, she was given when last here.
Yesterday was Edda's birthday, so we booked a table for dinner and invited Leslie's best friend and surrogate big sister, Anneli Teichmann, and her worldly, law-student son, Michael. We arrived guitar in hand and together sang "Happy Birthday" to Edda who, as usual, greeted us at the door. After dinner we sang "You are My Sunshine," an Edda favorite, and ended up having a surprisingly good (given the late hour -- not that that ever has stopped us? -- and the language challenges) sing-along with other patrons who lingered. Good times.
Fun in der Forst -- Edda (with Meg), Michael, waiter
Alberto, Leslie, waitress Ulricke, and Anneli.
