After I posted last night, we went to bed…it was 7:30pm here and we couldn’t take it anymore. Surprisingly, we pretty much slept all the way until 6am…then dozed off here and there until 8am. Although it was REALLY hard to stay up like that, we felt so much better today and are already acclimated to the time change.
We decided today was going to be a relaxing day…but wanted to venture out a little. Most everything is closed here in Sunday’s so we were kind of forced into relaxing. We started our day with a healthy breakfast of greek yogurt (check this out! It was really good and tasted more like the Greek Yogurt I remember)
Then, we had some grapes…apparently from Greece:
We worked out in the little gym area they have here, then got ready and headed out. Apparently it’s Greek Day because we were exploring and found this place to eat:
It’s a little odd hearing a Greek person speaking all German. He did pretty well speaking some English to us, so we both struggled with each other’s language. 😛 But let me tell you something…the food was amazing! I had Moussaka and Keith had a Gyro plate which does not come with a pita…there was a mixture of all different kinds of Greek foods…mmmm!
And yes, there was indeed Ouzo. The nice gentleman who served us (whom I believe was the owner) brought out 2 ouzo shots for us. It smelled nice and Keith of course drank both of them. 🙂 Along with a big stein of beer. Yamas!
We got to meet his son (21 mos.) and he was as cute as can be. He had curly, curly hair just like my cousin’s son Costa. Then he proudly showed us a picture of himself when he was a baby and sure enough his son was the spitting image of him! We may just have to go back there again before we leave this country. He suggested a place for us to go because there was a nice market going on and the stores would be open. So, we took his advice and headed off. The town is called Kommern and it was established in the 14th century. There was a lot more information about it but it was in German and we could only make out bits and pieces of it. 😀 Here are some examples of the streets (and doorways) in the town:
Keith is trying to figure out what the wording on this house says…it was very interesting to see:
Here is a close up of the wording on the house:
It’s been a really nice day!
Now, it’s time for Keith to enjoy this awesome beer he found:
So…until tomorrow when we go on our next adventure…..because it’s supposed to be nice, we may end up going to Cologne to explore…and maybe a boat trip on the Rhine…we shall see
