Oktoberfest!!

Image
Last year, I did Oktoberfest with my N26 team in Berlin when I was visiting for work. Bucky didn't have the chance to partake, but I wanted him to have the experience, so I asked my work friends if they wanted to do Oktoberfest again! And they were all for it! There were about twenty of us who went to this cool locale discovered by my boss, Norbert. We enjoyed lots of beer, pretzels, beer, dancing, beer, singing, beer and schnapps. We also took some pictures as you can see below. It was LOTS of fun, but we definitely paid for it the next day. It was well worth it though! Prost! While Bucky and I were in Stockholm, Lucie and Quincy came to Berlin for their own Oktoberfest! Bucky and me! Prost! Bucky, me, Luana, Mihai and some random guy!!! Bucky, me, Norbert and Thierry!! Most of the N26 gang who celebrated together!

Bucky's 70th in Stockholm!

We wanted to do something special for Bucky's 70th birthday because turning 70 is pretty special. We decided to walk down memory lane and go to Stockholm. We hadn't been back there together since we lived there in 2001-2002.  We rented an Airbnb apartment ideally located on Djurgarden , an island in Stockholm that is home to Skansen, Grona Lund and the Abba Museum among other fun places!! We arrived in Stockholm on Wednesday evening, got settled in, walked around a bit and eventually decided to forage for dinner. We came upon a fabulous place called Slipen and had a wonderful meal!! We even made reservations to return on our last night because it was so memorable!! Our first stop on Bucky's birthday the next day was Skansen . Skansen is an outdoor museum that Bucky LOVES!! It is set up like Sweden in the olden days and you can go into the different buildings and see how things were done in the past. For example, they have glass blowing, silver making, a bakery, farms, etc. ...
