KPMG Welcome Dinner for Adam!

Last night was Adam's welcome dinner to KPMG! We went to a spanish place called Casa Aurelio. It was amazing. Two of the partners were there and 3 managers in his department. They are all fantastic which is great for adam since they will be his co-workers for the next 2 years. Back to dinner though. The food and wine were great lots of fish, veal , and filet mignon for the meals. However the people were even more awesome to watch. Everyone but us in there seemed to know one another. We don't know if they are all related some how or what? It kind of reminded me of the Hill in STL. After dinner nobody wanted to go home so we went to a bar where they play foosball in the basement, and man are they intense. They apparently have tournaments there. Two young guys were so intense they were sweating. They both had ridiculous pit stains and were completely focused on each and every game. One of the partners played with a local 3 times against pit stains and his partner....lets just say he didn't win. I won't even give out the score hahahaha. After that we all walked to the tram to head home. We got on and went one stop then the conductor got up and started talking in german and walking down the aisle. We thought he was checking for our passes. But instead he was kicking everyone off. Apparently the tram was done for the night and didn't start again till morning. We were only a couple blocks from the apartment so we just had some extra walking to do. Good for us since we ate so much at dinner! We really need to work on our German!
