goat tracks

We were very happy to have a visit from my cousin Charlie. Together we enjoyed sampling many different types of beer. At least my favorite was the “Schwarzer Hahn” (Black Rooster) that comes from a brewery in Fulda. It’s a really full tasting black beer that they happen to serve at the hotel bar down the street from us.

Annemarie also got Charlie to try everyone’s favorite specialty from Frankfurt: “Handkäse mit Musik”. I’m surprised that he is still talking to us!

We were surprised to find these very colorful birds next to the Catholic church in Cappel. They have a whole little bird outpost there. These just happened to be the most interesting looking.

Here’s a look at our colorful kitchen. I like how open it is. The only downsides are the electric stove (takes forever to boil pasta!) and the lack of any fan (boiling pasta easily steams everything up).
