Mid March: The Best Dinner I've Never... Seen!

While in Berlin visiting a "cousin" of mine, we did one of the most fun
things I have done in a really long time- we went to a Dinner in the Dark.
It sounds exactly like what it is- a dinner in 100% dark. It was truly an
amazing experience!

The dining room is in the basement of the place and the servers and workers
within the room are all blind, which helps with the orientation for the guests.
During the show, 3 different courses are brought to the dinner guests. Between
the main dish and the dessert there was a show- a haunted house. The actors went
from table to table scaring the guests while there was a story being narrated.
We realized that we were seated near the front of the room, near the exit/
entry way for the actors because every time they entered or exited the room, they
would touch my shoulder to orientate themselves in the room. I think I had little
screams of surprise than anyone else!

It was really interesting to see how quickly I was able to adjust to not
being able to see my plate and drink. You truly do start to use your other senses,
how things smell, how they feel, and the dinner was a surprise- I didn't know what
I was eating until the end of it! Needless to say, I don't know when else I would
have eaten quail!

But in the end, I had an amazing dinner and experience!
