Day of German Unity

Every other Friday night on the ship, we have a "staff cafe" in which we celebrate a country's heritage, culture and food! Tonight we celebrated with the German's as it was the "Day of German Unity." The national holiday (October 3) commemorates the official unification of the former East and West Germany in 1990. Several Germans sang the German national anthem and one German fellow gave us a brief account of the history behind this holiday. We also enjoyed delicious German apple cake! For fun, John and I decided to dress up for the event! :)
