Old Europe

Dear Imaginary Diners,

Which one of the above is a waitress at "Old Europe"? Indeed, not easy, since all the waitresses wear dirndls, and some of the customers. OK, it is the lady on the left, and I am a customer on the right, disguised as a German frau.

We had a great dinner there last night, in Upper Georgetown. I recommend the pear schnapps, the jaegerschnitzel and the German Chocolate Cake. MMM.

As an added bonus, Ted Koppel, ABC news anchor, was there with his wife. He looked pretty old without his makeup on. I photographed our friend David in the foreground, as a ruse to shoot Koppel behind him. If "kopf" is German for head, then does Koppel mean head also? In the case, he is Ted Head! And he carries a really big noggin atop that little neck.

Ted Koppel is the guy behind David's shoulder, looking down at his menu, hiding behind a large blue napkin.

Large lidded tankards were everywhere, as were old world art and flags, particularly the lovely white and blue flag of Bavaria.

The cafe was packed with people enjoying Oktoberfest. There was a line waiting to get in, so make reservations first, doncha know.

Probst!

Your Imaginary Frau,

Patsie
