So work brought me to Paris & Berlin. . .: "The" summer party of the season

Each year the leisure association at work puts on a summer party and it is considered "the" social event of the season - friends and family are welcome. Even though it was the Friday after five days straight of meetings and dinners, I figured it was a must attend soiree. And I'm glad I did! It was a fun night.

There is a fee to attend but once you are in, it's unlimited everything. There were bbqs and tables filled with food - from cheese to candy! There was of course wine and beer to wash it all down (sadly there was an additional cost for the champagne). Though, we did have an intern with us who served as the gopher for the evening :)

Our offices are centred around a complex that includes a Chateau. The party was set up around this which made for a lovely setting. After some formal speeches there was live music and as the night progressed, DJs and dancing. They even played the Women's France-Germany World Cup Match. The game went into penalty kicks and much to the dismay of most of the room, the French lost.

If I'm not in Mexico next year, I am definitely going back to the summer party!
