Limoncello!

Moisburg, Germany
Tuesday, August 2, 2016

Nearing the end of our three week adventure in northern Europe. Currently enjoying some REALLY lovely limoncello concocted by my host from lemons he brought home from Mallorca. That is, the taste of southern Europe enjoyed here in the north... Wow, good stuff!

Barefoot park

Yes, here we stand atop bits of crushed glass -- just one of the many sensations for our feet that we experienced at the Barefoot Park this afternoon (Barfußpark Egestorf). Some sensations were certainly more interesting and/or pleasant than others, but this particular one was challenging indeed! (We also tried mud, pine cones, stones, bricks, logs, grass, sand and more...)

Brown and white and really hungry

Yesterday we visited a "Vildpark" where feeding the animals was allowed (and even encouraged), but it was the deer that we met today that were the real hits. A pulled weeds for over an hour to feed these guys. Endless fun, really.

Green with a dash of yellow

Northern Germany in the early summer: green, green, green--and flowers, too. A balm for the eyes after the hot, brown (already) plains of Jordan.

It seems that we arrived in Northern Germany just in time for a late-starting strawberry season. We were greeted at our friends' house with a lovely strawberry cake...and coffee in the garden...
