After my spring escapades, it was time to settle down for a summer in Europe, gardening, renovating the house, watching nature. But of course, there was time for a few short trips and events as well…
Like the trip to Alsace, to meet friends and eat and… drink:
In our spare time, we visited Colmar and Strasbourg.
Then the Middle Ages came to Landshut, as every four years, the Landshut Wedding is re-enacted. It was the first time I’d seen it, and it is a truly magnificent spectacle happening in a truly magnificent historic town.
However I doubt that in 1475, Aperol Spritz was served with dry ice. It would have made a splendid elixir…
Later in August, a trip to the mountains, hiking, eating, drinking…
One might encounter wildlife when hiking, but pigs are actually quite unlikely.
Glasses of red wine, on the other hand, can be obtained everywhere.
