Sunny Saturday!


After 8 or 9 days of rain, snow and clouds, we finally saw the sun today! Here are some pictures from "lunch" in Erlangen, and our walk around the lake behind our house...


Each town with a church has a sign at the entrance to the town which announces the churches there, and their service times. This is the sign for the churches in Weisendorf - one is Catholic, the other is Evangelical.

This is the Rewe in Weisendorf. It is where I do my grocery shopping. It's very close to our house which is nice, because I go there almost everyday. I like to walk with Luna in the stroller.

Here's what it looks like inside. That's the whole produce department there. Nothing out of season here! The whole thing is about 1/4 the size of a typical American grocery store, but the quality and selection are very good.

View of a little hamlet surrounded by fields.

Building a house in Germany is a serious undertaking. They're all concrete block construction, and there is always a crane required, which sits there the whole time it takes to build the house.

Afore mentioned crane...

This is the back of our house from the other side of the lake. Ours is the half on the right. We will clear out the trees and brush along the shoreline this spring.

Nice view of the lake from another spot.

Pics of Luna from the other day...


This is outside the Cafe Mengin, which is our favorite place to go for coffee and Apfel Kuchen (Apple Cake) and Apfel Streudel on Saturday or Sunday mornings. It's on the market square in Erlangen, and there is a sun room which overlooks the Schloss (castle) Park.
