Michelstadt Ostereirmarkt

We made a day trip to Michelstadt today to browse the Ostereirmarkt (Easter egg market). What an awesome town with the coolest building (first pic) outside of Rome I have seen in Europe so far! It has quite a history dating back to 1484, pretty cool! The highlight was my meal, Eirpfannkucken Rolle MIT Mett-Gemüsefüllung dazu Salatbeilage.  It was a crepe-like concoction filled with meat and veggies served with a cabbage and carrot salad paired with a glass of Apfelwein (Apple wine)..... It was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!

Frankenstein's Castle

Lisa, Grammy, and I stopped off at the original castle of Frankenstein. Great evangelische church and cemetery at its base. These monuments pictured are commemorating villagers who served in WWI are in almost every village in Germany. Pretty cool!



Neustadt Mandelblüten Festival

Made the short trek to Neustadt on the Deutsch Weinstrasse (wine road) today. Lisa, Grammy, and I took advantage of the Mandelblüten (almond bloom) festival. Today's excursion included good wine, great views, fun music, and my favorite German food, leberknödel (liver meatball) served on a bed of sauerkraut! I'm the only one that will touch it, but let
It be known that leberknödel makes Jason a happy man! It was served on a biodegradable wooden plate with a biodegradable wooden fork, love Germans and their respect for the environment!

Check out today's music (http://youtu.be/i7jxqKhmjdY), my Okie friends will love what it has to offer.
