Travel Ninjas - German American Friendship BBQ - Mainz

 The banner greeted us as we walked into the park...The German-American Friendship BBQ!  A yearly "unofficial" event to bring the American military and German communities together over food, laughter and friendship.Held in the People's Park (Volkspark) in lovely Mainz.

Food tents were mad crowded.

The eye candy....yes.

Pic does him NO justice. 

This DJ was one of the organizers and also owns a local sportsbar.  Mogul!

He suffered over the flames for my food.  God bless him!

A larger section of the park, not the bbq area.

Another short video...getting better!!!

I didn't win a single thing.  But I did get HIT with a few items thrown into the crowd.  Grrrrr.  All in the name of fellowship!!!

The prerequisite kid's bounce castle.  They were having a blast.

Line for food was long, food was free after a short while.  Yay!

We enjoyed the sights and sounds and I (the visiting Ninja) thoroughly enjoyed hearing English, although most of the conversations centered around the Trayvon Martin verdict and how a lot of these beautiful Black men don't feel valued in the USA and have no desire to come back.  A sad shadow on an otherwise beautiful day.

We left full of food, laughs and things to think about.

A lovely fountain.  Bye-bye Volkspark!
