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.
