they fight. we drink.

today is the end to memorial day weekend. a very special holiday for those of you who have loved in the military or who have served in the armed forces themselves. for the rest of us, its a 4 day weekend, allowing more time to fill your belly with beer and, as was the case for me this weekend, strudel.

usually too obsessed with ingratiating myself to the latin community to notice there are such things as other cultures, i happened upon a group of eatern blockers celebrating at the beer garden in astoria. i sampled the local fair, meaning sausage, beer, and desserts with names i cannot pronounce. it was an experience worthy of the trek out to queens, and it made me wonder why it had been 4 years since i had patronized this fine establishment.

i cannot include the smells or sounds of the experience, but here are some of the visuals.
