Bierfest!

So these pictures are a tad outdated, but worth sharing anyway. These are from the Herzogenaurach bierfest. This is the town where we work, and we get 2 "beer tokens" from work. And yes, one beer is one liter. And they had the biggest schnitzl sandwiches ever.

Hiking in the Fraenkische Schweiz and BBQ with Kubb!

We drove to the Fraenkische Schweiz on Saturday and did some hiking. It was really fun. We drove to a small town called Pottenstein, an hour or so Northeast of Nurnberg, ate lunch at a biergarten (mmm, flammkuchen), and went off hiking. We navigated around, following signs with various symbols on them, passing through farm fields, and forest, and small villages.






Sunday we had a BBQ with some friends in the "grillplatz" along the Pegnitz river near our apartment. We christened the new Kubb set we bought on amazon.de. Everyone loved it! Such the perfect lawn game! You can see Cynthia and I well ahead of our opponents in the picture below...
