We started the day with a short walk around a huge wind turbine ducking through forests and various fields of green. Our little walk according to Gayle’s pedometer was over 10,000 steps, with Werner leading the way. I felt so free, wandering about, being steered by our patient guides.
We returned home for siesta and lunch out in the backyard garden, fresh grainy dark German bread, gouda and German blue cheese, tomato and fresh herb salad, and baby lettuce and chive salad with each leaf of lettuce gentle sprayed with wine vinegar and tossed with yogurt and olive oil. So simple, yet everything was so good.
We then traveled to university town that had a large botanical garden and who was celebrating a smaller version of Octoberfest and a carnival. Besides the odd selection of giant pretzels large enough to corral 3 good sized dogs, pork knees on 8 foot long rotisserie spears, and of course beer guzzling students, the Octoberfest visit was a bust. Loud music and youth slowly loosing civil control made for a quick exit. The next day the newspapers talked about the problem of pick pockets at the festival. I did remember someone tugging on my pretzel.
