6/26/2011 Pictures

OK, so Blogger is really stupid. Or my computer is really stupid. Possibly I am really stupid, but that is unlikely. More likely is that all three are true. That said...

I had hoped to add some pictures to previous posts, but it seems I am not allowed to do so. So here are a few, along with commentary. This year, I'll put them up more promptly - really!

Here is my Granddaughter, Jaden, at the Volksfest in Vilsek. This really swell event is a fundraiser for the local community music school and town band. And they serve you the local beer - in mugs the size of your head!

The local suds are made by the Winkler Brewery, who also make a really weird Cola/Orange mix thing that Z really likes. The beer is light and refreshing - lawnmower beer.

Bamberg - an amazingly beautiful place. And home to 8 breweries! This is where Rauchbeir comes from. Dark and smokey, it's really swell with smoked cheese or a smoked brot (hey, I wasn't always a veg!).

Hofbrau! Disneyland for beer drinkers! The party never stops. And if you've had a little much, look carefully in the tree for the local Starbucks (they're everywhere!).

I was taken with this fence in Munich. It's in the right clef and everything.

Marienplatz - one of the most beautiful places on earth. Go vists this amazing place. Listen to Uncle Dave. You won't be sorry.
