A short trip to Germany

Everything you heard is true...

they really do have Beer Gardens in Germany!



They have traditional gardens there too...


















Flo and our host, Mario.
















We're at a fake beach in the middle of an industrial park on a canal. It was a little odd, but the sand felt nice in your feet.







A small German breakfast...

























Somebody's family member made some marmalade, I'm not sure what flavor it was. It was good. The only type of marmalade I see in the states is always Orange Marmalade... and the consistentancy was a little different, as you can see.













A funny (and non-traditionally German, as I was informed by our host) way of making coffee...








Dusseldorf:
We had a really good dinner here... Asparagus Soup, followed by Asparagus with Hollandaise Sauce, Potatoes, and Ham. I loved it. I was informed over this dinner that all Asparagus in Germany is white. Mario had never seen green asparagus before coming to the US.



And, I couldn't resist, T-Mobile in Germany...






Did you know it is a company from Germany? I didn't know.

I think that there is too much sauce on asparaguses

Flal said...

You drink coffee ???

Flal said...

she likes asparaguses only with lot of sauce (I think that she just eat them in order to have this kind of sauce..)

Breizhilienne said...

C'est pour moi la question ?
Yes, I drink coffee, may be too for the moment (4 or 5 cups a day, is it too much ?)

Flal said...

It was for you..
Yes, it is a bit too much, I was about the same, but she is forcing me to reduce the quantity of coffee that I drink (which is a good thing..)..

Becca said...

I did not force you!

I merely complained about your coffee breath and your being irritatingly energetic at odd times in the evening.

:-p

Coffee is better than tobacco, isn't it ? And, I've have decided to stop eating chocolate, so I have to replace it...

Flal said...

don't you know that the best thing with a black coffee is to eat some dark chocolate??
And I can be irritatingly motivated in the evening even without coffee..

PS: food is ready !
