After an extended winter, spring has apparently arrived in Hannover, Germany (even though it has been snowing balls since I wrote this post). I recorded this short video on April 7th, 2013, when tons of Germans came out to the Maschsee to drink some beer before wandering over to the AWD Arena to watch the Hannover 96 play against VfB Stuttgart. (And I have no idea who won because — try as I might — I just don’t care.)
Usually, when I jog around the Maschsee in the morning, its like a ghost town. No one around but me, a German or two and a couple of filthy geese. But when the sun comes out? Oh, it’s party time. Check it out.
(NOTE: If you’re wondering about that grunting noise at the end, it’s me lifting the camera up with my tiny little T-Rex arms.)

Oh God, My Wife Is German. 
Spring has arrived at last. Good for you. This is quite a contrast from your running video where there was no one in sight!

Unquestionably believe that which you said.
Your favorite reason seemed to be on the net the easiest thing to
be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get irked
while people consider worries that they plainly do not
know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the
top as well as defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people can take
a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
