Skylar is thrilled to stay home for a change and build his xp or whatever in his game.
When I couldn't take it anymore, we decided to wander into to town get some dinner. We happened upon some random festival along the river. There were lots of food stands.. mostly meat, but we managed to find some yummy and greasy veggie items. We got some sort of pizza type thing to call dinner and then went after the more exciting stuff. Skylar got a crepe and I got a puffy fried dough thing.. similar to a funnel cake in GA or a doughboy in NY... not sure what it was called here... but of course it was topped with Nutella, so it was delicious. We also got some chocolate covered fruit that was a bit weird like it was frozen and then got warm, so it was mushy.
There were also a few bands playing along the water. There was an orchestra on a floating stage that was pretty neat. We watched this more poppy type band sing what seemed to be German drinking songs and a few American party songs. This question came up while we were in Amsterdam too and it reminded me... Does the US have any drinking songs?
By 11pm, the streets were flooded with people just eating and drinking and having a grand time. I didn't even know there were that many people in this seemingly small town. After a while when we ate as much as we could handle and I couldn't drag Skylar onto the dance floor, we headed for home.

US drinking songs - all I can think of is "100 bottles of beer on the wall."
Of course, there are a bunch of "I'm really drunk" songs...and of course, mainly country, but I don't think that's what you mean.
I'm sure there are more, but that's the one measly pathetic one I can think of.
