A glimpse...

 ...of what Nate and I have been up to so far.

Dried sausages in Strasbourg.
Nate couldn't resist. He fell for the 3 for 10 deal.

And I couldn't resist a photo op.
This man loves his sausages. (Nate too.)

Gargoyle on the Notre Dame de Strasbourg.

Flying buttresses!

Strasbourg through the cathedral.

And on to Munchin.....

The lucky boar in
Munchin's old town.

The Virgin Mary and new town hall in Marienplatz square.

The new town hall from the top of St. Peterskirche.

Quetche in Viktualienmarkt.
This is the fruit that turned my fingers purple at the patisserie.

Red goose eggs at Viktualienmarkt.
The market has been selling all kinds
of wonderful food and treats since 1807.

Anise decoration. I love this scent. I've learned
however, that Nate does not. Guess he won't like
the anise biscuits I'm gonna make when we get
back. Aldo has a fantastic recipe I'm trying to
track down.

Beer as big as your head.
In this case, Nate's head. One whole litre!

Goodbye Munchin....
Breakfast in Germany, lunch in Austria and dinner in the Czech Republic.

Our very nice train leaving Germany.

First class gets you an OJ and KitKat bar.

View from our high speed train to the Czech republic.
This was somewhere in Germany.

As our trains changed. So did our views.

Snow in Austria. I was secretly happy
we left the powder behind us.

The Czech Republic is still green for now.

Local local train to Czesky Krumlov.

Getting closer.

We made it. This was our view the
first night as we strolled the streets.

Turns out there's beer in the Czech Republic too.

My delicious salad.

Nate's saucy meat and loaf of steamed bread.

Pretty city.

Everything was painted to look like stone, or molding or
something more ornate than the flat surface that was reality.

Chesky Krumlov.

Walking up to the castle gardens.

Local beer. Not the same as the American brand.
This one tastes much better.

Our favorite place to eat.

Another view. This castle is very photogenic.

So that's it for now... better get back to wandering.
