My sweetheart was longing for her home in the Ruhr region again. She's actually from Oberhausen, but her sister lives in Essen, which is right next door. On top of that, it was my sister-in-law's birthday, and we had the opportunity to see many of our (in-laws) relatives again.
On Monday, after countless construction sites, slow-moving traffic, traffic jams, and a complete closure of the A3, we finally arrived after more than six...
Sorry, only in German. Langen in Hessen feiert einmal im Jahr am letzten Wochenende des Junis sein Brunnen- oder Ebbelwoifest. Dabei wird pünktlich am Freitag ab 18.00 Uhr Apfelwein (Ebbelwoi) aus dem Brunnen ausgeschenkt. Dazu sind die umliegenden Straßen voll mit Buden für Klamotten und Essen, dazu kommen diverse Fahrgeschäfte. Der Ebbelwoi kommt natürlich nicht direkt aus dem Brunnen, sondern wird von Fässern mit extra Leitungen zu...
On Friday and Saturday, my sweetheart surprisingly got two days off before the weekend. We spontaneously used Friday to finally pay a visit to the local zoo after living in the greater Stuttgart area for over 12 years. I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves. An Freitag und Samstag hat mein Schatz überraschenderweise 2 Tage vor dem Wochenende frei bekommen. Spontan haben wir den Freitag dazu genutzt, nachdem wir über 12 Jahre im...
E: On Wednesday we drove back towards our old home in Hesse/Rhine-Main area. We left at around 12:00 and arrived relatively uneventfully at 2:00 p.m. We had pre-booked a double room in the Hotel Primus on Große Rittergasse in Sachsenhausen, almost in the middle of Alt-Sachsenhausen. There is not much to say about the hotel, everything is a bit old, but on the whole it was clean... if you didn't look too closely into the corners. No matter, we...

A brief explanation for English speakers: The Limes is not a citrus fruit; 2000 years ago it was the border between free Germania and the Roman Empire like the Hadrian wall in northern Scotland. A very porous border, the Romans loved Germanic smoked ham, honey and furs, which they happily traded with the Germanic barbarians. In contrast, Roman glassware and metals were very popular in Germania.
From Friday to Whit Monday there is a...
E: In October we had to visit Frankfurt again, supplies were running low and we actually had a packed program for the three days. I'll actually come back to that in due course. On Thursday we set off at around 10 a.m. to Langen/Hesse to visit relatives. Afterwards we went looking for a friend/former colleague of my sweetheart in the REWE market where we had met her last time (not, but before that). Surprisingly, they no longer had a deli...

Holiday again at last. We are supposed to check in at the campsite by 5 p.m., so the trip started shortly after 8 a.m. After the usual delays, breaks and traffic jams, we arrived around 4 p.m. After checking in and unpacking, we went in search of our dinner. Since we were both not that hungry, cheese sticks and Bitterballen were enough for us as a snack portion. The Bitterballen are made from a beef or veal ragout with a stiff roux....
E Our spring shopping tour took place on April 20th, 2023. The Hessian sausage was long gone and we only had one portion of green sauce left in the freezer, so time to refill the pantry.
We stayed at the a&o Hotel right next to Frankfurt's Galluswarte. There is little to say about the hotel itself, except for unclean and too loud. In other words, we are still looking for the right hotel in Frankfurt for us.
D Am 20.04.2023 fand unsere...

In mid-April 2023, after the long pandemic, the Slow food fair finally took place again in the usual setting. In 2022 there was probably a heavily slimmed down version, but we didn't want to do that to ourselves. The trade fair has definitely become a lot fewer, half a hall was enough, which earlier was full.
What had increased a lot this time were the small product samples, which were much more sparingly. This also led to us buying...

Today my darling had her day off, it was still very cold but dry and sunny. So we used the afternoon and walked to the prehistoric museum. A large number of mammals have lived in the river landscape of the Neckar, Murr and Bottwar for around 500,000 years.
We live here on a sediment hill, from which gravel has been mined since the year 1900 and from which interesting finds of all kinds of mammals have been found again and again....
