Zach and I took a whirlwind trip to Germany for Oktoberfest with a quick dip into Austria to visit Salzburg. Lots of new things were tried - new places, new beers, new foods, authentic versions of foods eaten previously. My favorite new food was Zwiebelkuchen, an oniony eggy tart that a friend made during our first night in Jena, Germany. Zwiebelkuchen is a traditional food served with Federweisser, a very new wine and very easy drinking. My favorite new place was Bamburg, a small-ish town that is home to nine breweries.
Today I'll be working on unpacking, laundry, putting away our newly acquired swag (check out the new beer stein shaped cookie cutter!) and sorting through the pictures we took and trying to get over this jet lag. Zach, always the trooper, was up and off to work this morning.
