Soooo...looks like we are in bonus time in beautiful Bavaria. There are worse places to hang out for a few extra days.
I started today with a walk to Suss. In a state where every next town is more beautiful than the last, a place called "sweet" had to be something special. Eight miles out small country back roads through wonderful little bergs, I finally arrived. So, um, Suss, well....eh.

We entertained ourselves this afternoon by traveling to Pottenstein. It is a small village in the hills south of Bayreuth that is kind of amusement central. Jaden and I took a bobsled ride down the hill. The trip started with Jaden saying "not too fast, Grandpa," and ended with "faster, Grandpa, WHOOO HOOOO!" In between runs we went to the biergarten across the street. Hufeisen Pilsner was a great find. This is probably the best pils we have had since Pilsen. Nice and hopppy, a beautiful nose, a very robust little pils. Good stuff. It evidently is brewed at the little pub down the street, so we went by to see if it was open. The flagship beer is Wagner Brau! Unfortunately the brewery was not open, so I can only guess what that is like (really pungent and served in a realllllllllly large glass).

Dinner with Katie and Crystal as guests this evening. Zia made Cevapcici and salad, and I made potato pancakes. We had a nice evening talking, eating, and enjoying nice suds.
