Normally we travel cheap. They way this shakes down typically is that we pick a destination within a few hours of home, surf online and print out the history of the sites we will see, and pack lunches. We make a day of it and see all we can in that time. The reward for long car rides and trekking up and down cobblestones and in and out of churches is a treat from an outdoor vendor or bakery late the day.
Eating out lately….

Coffee



Some kind of deadly deep fried cake fries from the "sucre" stand in Luxembourg.

Grillwurst, also known as why they prefer to travel on any day besides Fridays.

You would not believe all the things you can adhere to a pretzel – nuts, frosting, sprinkles, cheese, meat pieces…..

Ahhhh the beloved Berliner which our German teacher pronounces "Bay-LEEN-uh" Brendan just calls it good.


If you have a whole bunch of boys you may know why I have to snap these signs wherever we go. I think I have mentioned before how easily amused this bunch is. <g>
Pardon our potty talk.

I miss the food from Europe! Have you all tried doner kebabs yet?
The kids at home aren’t big döner fans. I maintain because the first one the girls had was sauerkraut and that poisoned them against them. ; )
I had some Facebook comments about the Schneeballen and am sharing some links. They are a specialty of Röthenberg.

Thanks Kim! These look like fun to make! One guess what we’ll be celebrating “Fastnacht” with. 🙂
I often fantasize about eating my way around the world. Oh yes, that would be divine.
Drooling! 🙂
