Randomness...Day 27 Somewhere in Hessen

I always enjoy reading other blogs and when I come across one that has no theme I get giddy.  So I am "swagger jacking" and doing a "Randomness" post about things in Germany thus far that tickle my fancy...enjoy...

Breakfast

This is QUARK...a cross between cream cheese and sour cream.  It comes in a block and you thin it with oil or lime juice.  Included in this particular bowl of quark is dried cranberries, sunflower seeds and bananas.  Quark is delicious.

The bread is just bread....but the shapes and textures are so delish.  This one has cream cheese with a honey drizzle.

Lunch

This beautiful man was in my menu when we went to lunch the other day.  Wow.

We took a day trip to the city of Worms.  This clock tower was the original "gateway" to the city.  I'm having difficulty finding the formal name (Rhein River Bridge is all I've found).  It was stunning. 

 A "street bridge"...the architecture was amazing in Worms.

The top of a cathedral

Another clock tower...simply beautiful.

Saying goodbye to the bridge.  I wasn't driving in case you want to know.


So the joy of getting to spend an extended period of time with my friend is equally measured in missing my friends and family at home.  I am so happy that I took this trip, but I am fully aware of how much I miss home.  I will have to do an additional blog about separation anxiety. Back to business...

Us hanging out at the club.  The bond cannot ever be broken.

We are looking for persons to join us on a once in a lifetime trip to Egypt.  The itinerary is being formulated and we need a small group of 6 to make this trip happen.  Please contact us at tourguide@ok.de to reserve your spot.

Not my picture...but it's the private yacht for the Egypt trip.

Finally some Dinner

This pic is from a different blog...but I need to pay my respects to Spargel...White Asparagus...The veggie Gold Standard of Spring in Germany.  The unofficial end of Spargel Season was June 24th.  My taste buds, stomach and mind are in a state of mourning.  I love spargel...the texture, the taste, how good it is for my body.

"The people love us!"  "Yes, especially with Hollandaise Sauce!"

Long Live Spargel!

TRAVEL NINJAS!!!

Food...Apartment Hunting...Randomness

Germany...Somewhere in Hessen...Day 7

The Travel Ninjas have been together a solid week thus far.  This is a random post about what we are doing and seeing.

Luckily Ninja B. is a native of Germany so I'm hipped to the "insider" news.  The special of the season food-wise?  White asparagus.  Don't knock it till you try it!  These morsels are covered with Hollandaise sauce, paired with fish sticks and mayo for dipping (think tartar sauce and don't judge me!).  Last night's delish dinner!

Spring/Summer Only white asparagus

Today we traveled to a nearby town to look at apartments.  Ninja B. is ready to relocate and the search is on!  Unfortunately I did not get pics of the first apartment.  It was cute, clean and compact, but not quite where the Ninja wants to reside.

We headed to the next spot...but had a few minutes to spare so we stopped for ice cream.

Named after one of my favorite singers...lol

The treat we had is called "Spaghetti Ice Cream" because of the shape of the ice cream (spaghetti looking) and the strawberry sauce ("tomato sauce").  The cookie was delicious and the spoon was semi-square.  I was in heaven!

Lecker! = Yummy!

This was the view from our patio table.  Ninja B said..."summer"....

The blue building in the background is city hall....I guess that's why they are tearing up the whole sidewalk.

We headed to the 2nd apartment.  This apartment felt strange to me.  The owner said the previous tenant moved out 2 days prior.  I think that tenant was a ghost, because the apartment "felt" completely un-lived in.  Have you ever walked into a place for rent and immediately say "no"?  That was this place.

Let's start with the walls...

The lime rectangle...please google the art piece "the black square"to see why I got mad.

I could not stop staring at this....tic tac toe?  art?  wtf?

Ninja B was asking every question imaginable.  I call her Chefin....."The Boss"

"This place..."

All in all it was a fun day checking out properties.  The search continues, so stay tuned...
