A blur!!

The past two weeks have been a blur.  I've spent most of my time on the East cost of the United States.  I had to attend a 4 day training course for work.  After completing the course I took eight days of leave.

My leave started out in New York City and finished up with a few days in Wisconsin.  I have some great stories that I want to share about my time on leave but really want to get a quick post in about the Saturday I had before going to the states.

21 July, Rich, Svetlana, and I were on tour of festivals in the area.  Our local paper provides a number of the local festivities that are occurring in the area.  This day we visited three different places.

The first was near the Wienstrasse, where we tried a white Riesling, and all got crepes.  Delicious!!

Our next festival took us to Lawn Mower Races!!! I really never thought I would be seeing Lawn Mower Races in Germany, but guess it can be every where.  This reminded me of something my brother would do for a weekend hobby.  Once again, great food, despite a little rain had a good time watching some of these mowers race around the track.

 

We ended the day at a festival by the shore.  There is a beautiful lake area not very far from where we live where all around the lake.  It was a beautiful area, if there was no rain and a bit warmer would have been most enjoyable time.  

 All in all this was a great day to the weekend to enjoy some German Culture and Cuisine.  The following day I left for the States to begin my training and leave.  This week I am off of school and hope to catch up on some of my blog posts as well as projects I want to finish in the house.

Everyone have a great week,

Jane
