The Weekend

It was a very Rainy weekend here!!We were though able between all the rain fall have the opportunity to enjoy a festival in the city of Freinsheim on Saturday 14 July. 

Our original plan for the weekend was to go to Mainz for a beer fest, but with the such unpredictable weather we decided to stay a bit closer to home.  I actually heard about the Festival in Freinsheim through Facebook.  I follow the website Buzz off Base and occasionally there are events posted on the Facebook page.  

  The festival had a number of good foods as well as wine.  Freinsheim is located in the area that is called Weinstraße (Wine Street).  In September in the city of Bad Dürkheim there is a very large Wine Festival every year. 

I know very little about the area, but from my experience most of the Wine I've drank is a white wine, this one in the picture was a Riesling.

Take note, we are both wearing pants and long sleeve shirts.  It is July 14th.  Very ready for Summer here!!!

 We enjoyed some very good food and Ice Cream during our short stay in the city.  A great way to enjoy the afternoon, on a day that did turn out to be quite nice.

Sunday we used to run errands and I finished up some schoolwork.  Sam and I both worked on a large project of consolidating our DVD collection to the binder type cases.  Project not yet complete but a big dent into it.  

I'm hoping to have up a post about my trip to the Ukraine soon.  There are so many pictures and more that I'm waiting on.  A wonderful trip and a great opportunity to visit a growing city.
