A Festival in Darmstadt

The Travel Ninjas are at it again.

We traveled from Ninja B's hometown to the next town over, Darmstadt in Hessen  to attend 

 http://www.schlossgrabenfest.de/2013/

the biggest music festival in this area...

 


A cool 65 degree day with a slightly overcast/windy feel greeted us.  Our first stop was a delicious wine cooler type drink stand with fresh fruit.  Strawberry, watermelon etc.  Delish!



We then ventured over to the 4 music stages, strategically placed around a castle and one of the local technology colleges:

These dudes were amazing...think young INXS

Spoken Word...German style.  He was very good...I didnt understand a word...but I could feel his passion.

We sampled falafel, German bratwurst and brought home Chinese (Asien here) food.  Will be tasting that later.

Last stage....she was awesome!


This woman can SING!!!


I found my castle...well my first one for this trip anyway...

Where is my prince to go along with my castle?


and was tickled pink to see that Darmstadt has it's own brand of beer!

Way to market your city!
All in all it was a great couple of hours in Darmstadt.  More to come soon.

We are always looking for travel buddies....contact Sabine today tourguide@ok.de.
