Germany....16 Years Later Continues.... Some Places We Remember

Our first night was spent in Munich near the airport as we had an evening flight, but once we reached our former home area, we returned to some of our favorite places. Delicious Sunday dinner at the Winkler Brau following the gospel rehearsal on post.

I lived here until I found my apartment...charming room, but small. My room overlooked the biergarten-now a wintergarten that opens weather permitting.



Villa Toskana is where we stayed, and we would highly recommend
it. It's within walking distance of our old neighborhood and run by a 
very nice family. Wonderful, mannerly dog with the cutest ears
and a toddler granddaughter made us feel like we were staying
with friends.
The area had built up so much, we hardly recognized it.
When we moved away, the ESSO station was brand new.
Other than Herbie's and Frieda's, the ESSO station
was our favorite breakfast place.



Zum Hirschen:  One of the places to meet  and eat in Parsberg.

The Goldener Adler in the town of Hohenfels...I thought it was a Greek restaurant, but the owner said Turkish. Anyone who has visited either of those countries knows how they take credit for the other's cuisine. (That's our little rental car...excellent ride for a small car.)

No renovations for MANY years, but a complete overhaul is coming this year!

And, across the street from the Adler, the church where our marriage was blessed a few months following the Las Vegas ceremony. Our German neighbors had told us that this was the one that counted. I said, "Don't tell my mother!"
We returned from the blessing to find flower petals strewn in the foyer and balloons above the doorway. Seppe, playing his trumpet, led a parade to the house where they presented us with gifts and good wishes.

It's like opening a jewel box.
