We had a wonderful first meal together on Tuesday, June 3rd (which was also Gabrielle’s 19th birthday!!!) at Barthels Hof. Many of us ordered the special Rhubarb, cucumber lemonade, a specialty of the restaurant, and for food, I ordered the breaded lamb with asparagus (which is currently in season!) and potatoes. It was quite delicious; the lamb was tender and the entire dish was well flavored. During dinner we discussed logistics of our program in Leipzig, then we got dessert to celebrate Gabrielle’s birthday. It was a fun evening and it was nice to meet everyone properly.
