Hafa Adai - Welcome!
Phil and I have been very fortunate to be given the opportunity to learn about a new culture and area of the world. We are so greatful for this gift and are looking forward to all the new adventures that lay ahead. I have started this blog to help document our experiences and explorations during out time on Guam. My goal is to make a weekly update to help us stay in touch with our family and friends and to share some of our thoughts and experiences that we encounter along the way.

Oktoberfest

Winner of the
Pumpkin Carving Contest
Every year Oktoberfest is held in the finest of German Traditions at the Lutheran Church of Guam. This year was no exception. There was fun to be had for all ages with many types of competitions to enter, socializing with friends, dancing and good food. Lot's of food!
Veal and Smoked Brauts

If you didn't arrive hungry I guarantee you were when you smelled the grills full of brauts from the parking lot! These were the best, footlong veal and smoked to fill your tummy. Yum..


As mentioned above there were a lot of competitions. Best potato dish (lots of potatoes folks!) Hot German Potato Salad, Cheesy Potatoes, Fried Potatoes with bacon! Best Side dish complete with lots of slaws, sauerkraut and salads. Best desserts (way to many yummy ones to begin mentioning) What a great way to fill a table full of food.



Dinner is served
I can not fail to mention the Costume Contest. So many adorable little ones happy to show them off. They were more than willing to pose for the camera.




Costume Contest
Did I mention there was dancing?

The Chicken Dance
How about a Polka Competition?

Look at them go!

It wouldn't be a true Oktoberfest without a competition for the best beer stein.



 All in all it was a fun, relaxing evening.
