Germany - Day 4 Part V - Gisela's Dinner

After a hard day of sight-seeing, we came back to Georg and Gisela's home for a few beers and dinner. Gisela knew that asparagus was one of my favorites and white asparagus was "in season". We stopped by a roadside stand and bought the asparagus as we drove home. Gisela went to work preparing dinner including the best soup that I have ever eaten....no question about it or exaggeration in that statement! The herbs came from her home garden. I was almost paralyzed with ecstasy as I ate the soup. The rest of the dinner included more asparagus and other extraordinarily tasty items.....a dinner to remember.

Life is so good at times, I just can't believe it, but I certainly appreciate it.

Germany - Day 3 Part II - Ahrweiler

Ahrweiler is another storybook-like little town that we visited today. The photos, for the most part, are just snapshots of what we saw and require little explanation. Ahrweiler traces its roots back to the 1200's and there are still buildings here that go back to the 1400's. The city is one big marketplace with shops of all kinds. Every view of the city seemed to be picture post card quality....a photographer's dream.

The white asparagus was in season and wonderful.

Left over Easter decorations were still fun to see.

Part III still to come.
