Oom-pah Bands and Buskers in Munich and Salzburg
Germany really does mean huge beers, sauerkraut, grilled sausages, and strudel. And music? Well, at least in Bavaria, it’s toe-tapping oom-pah. It didn’t matter that we couldn’t understand the words (though I am sure we missed something good because the locals were laughing a lot). We just swung our glaskrugs around when everyone else did.

Germany and Austria
Over the next couple of weeks, I will be writing about the trip we took to Germany and Austria in June. As I complete each post, I will link from here so that eventually, this post will serve as an index. For now, however, it’s my to-do list–haha! Munich, Germany Alte Pinakothek and Pinakothek der [...]
Cucumber Salad for your Fourth of July picnic
Last week, Barrie asked me if I would share a recipe for the Forth of July. She suggested perhaps I could post something from England, since I live here, or Germany, since I was just there on holiday. She’s linking to recipes today, so be sure to drop by her site! Hmmm. I tried thinking [...]
¡Congratulacion España! and other things
Spain won the Euro 2008 Championship. Here are some loyal fans in Nuremberg, Germany. There were some really hardcore ones in Salzburg! Oh, I know, I’ve been so slow in posting my Germany photos. Now that Roxi is out for the summer it is hard to find three or four hours to sit down and [...]
We love summer
A very chic mom and her boy in Munich, Germany. Look at how pulled together that woman is! She’s wearing HEELS… on a bike! If I tried this, I’d have lost one shoe or sprained an ankle trying to dismount. Plus my hair would be a mess. This is not a staged photo–this is the [...]
Hamburgers
The last two evenings I’ve smelled grilling burgers. Somewhere nearby, some brave pit boss has thumbed his nose at the rain gods and fired up the grill. Me? I’m still traumatized by my rained out barbeques last “summer”. So instead, I’ll sit here, smell the burger smoke and eat a girly salad tonight. Just as [...]
We’re back!
We got in late Saturday night. For some reason, on the flight back, I thought I kept hearing oom-pah music. It was probably just the engines… We had a great time! There was only one thing wrong with the trip: we happened to be travelling during Euro 2008, which is basically a month long soccer/football [...]
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye
We’re going to Germany tomorrow. Gotta pick up Roxi from her sleepover, finish up some design work, and then pack and stuff like that. See you on June 23rd!
