we originally lucked out [jon picked us up, so while we were waiting we were in the mercato at the train station...where they had a little bottle of smirnoff ice] because walking in the dirndl was scary.. they are considered formal wear to some, so we wanted to be careful with them. plus the laundry machines here are scarrrry [only because they're different but it's all good] so washing them is going to be after a few wears... which made lunch a litttle scary to eat!
luckily jen is an expert chef and made some fantastical pesto spätzli, that we both managed to get in our tummies and not on our blouses! however, there was a scare later in the afternoon concerning some chocolate. but the engineers of the dirndl did their jobs well and it missed the white blouse entirely! the absolute highlight of the day [in my opinion at least] was the icing of good 'ole jon..
he was a very good sport about the whole thing. he was gone at lunch so we snuck upstairs to his lair and placed the bottle on his keyboard with a note informing him to check his email. there we had sent him the wiki link [see the link above] so he could read up on the activity and realize he needed to take a knee and chug. a very simple concept, but solid for a first ice experience.. if we got toooo creative it may not have been understood! we compromised and he did not take a knee, but the chug did happen... in the form of a few gulps. he'll get the hang of it later on. i guess it's been a while since the chuggin' days at wisconsin... as we were cheering on our chugging boss, he decided to capture our happiness [below]
this just really captures the whole feel of the day perfectly. keep calm and get your dirndl on
