Celebrating the 4th of July was a little different this year, but yesterday they had a big barbecue on base and I ran in the 5k Holiday run. Work was CRAZY and we had a record number of people in Zuggys. After getting yelled at by angry waiting people a few times and watching some entertaining karaoke, I did make it outside to see the Edelweiss fireworks. It was no Ozark Spectacular, but it did have nearly every car alarm around going off. Then we headed out to BMW fest--a BMW biker rally/event that is going on all weekend in Garmisch. It was pretty fun--tons of tents set up with bands, Germans in lederhosen, lots of dancing on tables, and more BMW motorcycles than I have ever seen in my entire life.
We did all receive a letter telling us not to go out in Garmisch this weekend because there was a fight between a few MPs (American military police) and Turks at a local bar, and apparently the Turks were planning some sort of relatiation on Americans this weekend since it is the 4th. Luckily nothing happened and the most eventful part of the evening involved witnessing some crazy table dance moves!
