Today and Yesterday

Yesterday was the Bierboerse. I thought that the group of us were going to meet at 5, but encountering a few delays, i got to the meeting place at about quarter after five. Therefore, i decided to head there by myself and meet up with them. I got there, but after about an hour of walking around, decided to call our courageous group leader. It sounded on the phone as if he were in a very quiet room. Guess what? he was. the meeting time was actually 7pm not five. it was no problem though. i walked around and had a few beers (from my backpack, because i'm on a budget). Once they arrived, we walked around a little, and then went to this stand/wagon which sold 131 types of beer from around the world. I suggested the Guinness Foreign Extra to those whom had never tried it, and i believe that they rather liked it. I had some beer from either Bayern or Austria and one from Egypt. The Egyptian beer was really unique, and i found it extremely flavorful. It said that it had figs in it; i would most closely classify it with a Weissbier, albeit a little bit fruiter. After we had finished there, four of us went out for another beer before calling it a night. Today (Sunday), i and two others went to this art museum. It was a really cool exhibit, including many works from Kandinsky. The exhibit began with realists and progressed into the abstract and just plain weird modern stuff. The landscaped in oil on canvas by the realists had to be my absolute favorites! Up close, the brush strokes were clearly distinct and created a patchy picture. However, once one moved a little bit further out, the brush stroked blended together and created a magnificent picture. Tonight, i have been invited to the birthday party of a fellow CBYX participant, so i am actually leaving right now.
