Friday, May 28th: Farewell!

The night before our last night was our farewell dinner at another beer house. They had beer samples and free beers, and a nice buffet. The whole group was there and we toasted to everyone for having such a fun trip.

As the professor & trip leader sipped on his beer sample, I took down mine and half the tables like they were shots. This was obviously a good impression, and is good foreshadowing for the rest of the night.

I was wearing my nice Washington Nationals free white t-shirt and headed up to the buffet. I got some big pieces of duck and decided that some sauce on top would be quiet a delicious idea. I did not however realize that pouring a cup of sauce onto a flat plate would be such a terrible idea. Well, I spilled and needless to say the sauce left a nice brown line stain from my neck all the way down the shirt.




I started to panic. Nobody saw me, but in order to get back to the table I had to walk by everyone. And it was obvious enough where Mr. Magoo could have seen it across the room without his glasses.

For some reason I actually had a spare shirt, and a girl in my crew thankfully brought it to me. So in the buffet line I am changing shirts, and trying to do it quick. However I put it on inside out at first, taking up more time. I'm not sure if anyone else saw this...hopefully not...

FYI travelling with non-beer drinkers when every meal includes beer is great. I was collecting beer tickets and converting them into giant Liter beers. I was pretty much finished by the end of the night. We had several group photos and lots of fun, and our next stop was the clubs, or so we thought...
