A person has to learn German very quickly upon arrival, ‘cause that’s all they speak. (duh, John) It’s like they have a different word for everything. Rick met me at the airport with several good German beers and pretzels. We opened them right in the arrivals area and I enjoyed a bottle of Distelhauser. He said that passengers are allowed to consume beer, so I did. I love this country. Soon we were on the Autobon, cruising at, let’s just say, over 100mph. (and being passed)
On the way to Obrigheim, Rick’s home town, we stopped at an air museum where several of the pics were taken. A very cool pic of two Concorde jets, one French made, the other Russian. How cool is that.
We also stopped at my first castle and had a beir overlooking the Rick’s valley. Absolutely stunning views. The place is a restaurant and hotel where Rick said his family had stayed. Rick knew the owners well. A glass of Radeberger beir was enjoyed.
At Rick’s it was time for a short nap and long shower. Afterwards, Rick said I should come upstairs and meet the landlords, Sebastian and his wife Monique. They had some new-wine they wanted us to sample. The English was slight, mostly German. Very interesting. We were invited back tonight for Sebastians birthday party.
