These here folks ain't Amuricun's

Happy Sunday! This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it!

Is this somehow significant? I find it interesting that I had both life changing back surgery, and quit a 25 year habit of dipping snuff, all on April Fool's Day. Hmmm. This means something but I'm not sure what.

So, I went down to the whirlpool yesterday and was enjoying myself a good bit, when in walked another couple who seemed to want to get in with me. We exchanged smiles and then ... they proceeded to get butt naked and hop in the whirlpool with me. Now, a boy from Alabama is not used to seeing such as this and it's safe to say I was quite a bit uncomfortable. So me and my bathing suit hopped up on out of there and decided that maybe whirlpools in Germany weren't for us. Wow, that was weird.

Had a nice Bratwurst and Kraut dish last night at a place called the Ratskeller. It looks like this


Those are very large and very old wine vats along the right wall, some of them 700 years old I believe I was told. We are in the basement of a building that now houses city hall, which is above us. I think before that it was somebody's house.

Headed back into town this afternoon. Planning to buy a rail pass and tour Hamburg, Bremerhaven, and Berlin Monday through Wednesday. Thursday it's back to the hospital and Friday fly home.

5 days and a wake up. Partner, I am ready.

Bye for now ...
