He left before the end of our winter semester here to make it back in time for the beginning of spring semester at Dickinson, where he has to be due to ROTC obligations.\u00a0 Of course a proper farewell was in order, so Friday night the six of us Dickinsonians, Janine Ludwig, Jens, and some of our Dickinson \u201cfamily\u201d friends (i.e. Insa, Jan) enjoyed an evening together at Sch\u00fcttinger, a microbrewery and restaurant in the Altstadt of Bremen.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Bill, Doug, Ethan and I went to Sch\u00fcttinger around 7:30, just in time to get a beer during happy hour (only 2 Euro for 0,4 L!) and to have a traditional German dinner while we waited for the others to arrive.\u00a0 Bill and Doug both ordered the Leberk\u00e4se Pfanne, which they deemed appropriate, as Bill\u2019s quasi \u201clast supper.\u201d\u00a0 I\u2019ve never ordered it myself, but Leberk\u00e4se is kind of like a better, German version of spam. \u201cPfanne\u201d means pan, so it came served over hash brown-like potatoes with a fried egg on top.\u00a0 Ethan and I each ate Flammkuchen, which is a sort of flat bread with toppings.\u00a0 His had baby shrimp and onions on top of a sour cream like spread, and mine was the same except with bacon instead of baby shrimp.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/bremen\/2011\/01\/21\/and-then-we-were-five\/samsung\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-543\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-543 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/bremen\/files\/2011\/01\/2011-01-14-21.32.21-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/bremen\/files\/2011\/01\/2011-01-14-21.32.21-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/bremen\/files\/2011\/01\/2011-01-14-21.32.21-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/bremen\/files\/2011\/01\/2011-01-14-21.32.21.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a>After dinner we moved to a bigger table and by about 9:30 everyone had arrived.\u00a0 We presented Bill with a partially completed scrapbook with pictures from the past 4 months.\u00a0 With the help of glue sticks, red and yellow paper, and lots of Stabilo pens we all wrote notes to Bill and finished the scrapbook.\u00a0 Hopefully when he is missing Bremen he can look through it and get a sense of his home away from home here in Bremen.\u00a0 Although we didn\u2019t get our dance on underneath the disco ball to \u201cTake Me Home Country Roads\u201d at Sch\u00fcttinger, we finished our night at Tower, a popular dance club near the train station.\u00a0 Even though we\u2019ll miss him there\u2019s a chance he\u2019ll come back to Bremen for a visit in May, but regardless a perfect way to say goodbye as a group a our small yet lively \u201cAbschiedparty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Julie King &#8217;12 Early Monday morning Bill flew home back to the United States.
