Diadeloso Zwei

Hard to believe a year has come and gone since we attended our first Baylor Alumni Diadeloso event in Heidelberg. We can now say we’re veterans of this Germany BU activity….

By way of background, the Baylor International Network and Baylor University Alumni Association host a number of BU Diadeloso events around the globe. Translated from “Baylor speak”, Diadeloso (in Spanish), is known as the “Day of the Bear”. It is a campus-wide event that was even in existence when the Budman and I were at Baylor, which usually resulted in a day off from classes and involved a gorgeous spring day and a huge mudfight.

Thus, the Budman and I decided to make a repeat visit to BU Diadeloso Germany. Once again set in Heidelberg, we shared a meal of fried chicken, baked beans, biscuits, and Dr. Pepper (hey, don’t knock it until you can't get it) with fellow grads. And although the event was a bit smaller this year, it was still fun to reminiscence with other grads, and trade Baylor stories as well as “living abroad” anecdotes.

Not sure that BU would be too impressed that our group photo which was made in front of “a saloon and jail”. (just kidding – it was the kids blow-up play area)

Sic ‘em Bears!
