!!! SURPRISE !!!

So one of my oldest and dearest friends turned 50 on December 15th, I have known him for almost 35 years...

   

Guido had a birthday party last night (December 19th), I was there. Yes, you read that right, I am in Germany. Two weeks ago, spur of the moment I bought a plane ticket. I am so thankful that I was able to make this happen, I think he is too :) I'll add more pictures when I get home.
