Tropical Octoberfest

The folks renting us the apartment, Mike and Marisol, asked us to join them for the Octoberfest celebration at a marina/casino in Puerto Plata, a town on the coast about 25 miles northeast of Caberette.

After drinking the prerequsite german beer I switched to my old favorite - gin and tonic. While looking over the menu my eye caught a waitress walking by with a plate of sauerkraut topped with an enormous pig knuckle. That settled matters, I had to have one. It was cooked to perfection with melt-in-your-mouth pork underneath the real delicacy, crunchy skin, impervious to a knife, that had to be broken by hand .

This establishment is owned by Germans and there was a large contingency of German patrons who were quite easy to detect when breaking into song and swaying to the music.
