Back at the beginning of this journey, before we got our house, we were stuck in a 12 x 15 hotel room. So, we were actively looking for things to do, to get us out before we drove each other crazy. One of the things German's do real well here is food and Festivals...which are, amazingly enough, often combined! Each little village or community has their own fest, so there is something nearby to attend almost weekly if you wanted. The town of Grafenwoehr, where the army base is located, has the annual Fischfest. This was our first fest, and it felt so european to us. We could walk the cobblestone streets down to the fest, and it even rained on the walk back home...but that didn't stop us from grabbing an Eis waffle (ice cream cone) from our favorite Eis Cafe...Penguino Eis.
Here they are cooking the fish on these huge sticks...these spits were massive, like weapons! Not sure how to spell or pronounce what they call these...but it kind of morphed into "stukefish" for us. They knew what we meant at least!
Matt enjoying his trout. I even tasted some...and I am NOT a fish person. I don't even tolerate fish, but what can I say...Europe has brought out the adventurous side of me.
Jack ended up LOVING the fish. He couldn't get enough of it. Who knew? Maybe I should start cooking fish more often...we will start out slow by adding fish sticks to the menu (is that even real fish?)
We have been having fun, exploring, and trying new things...we hope you enjoy this adventure with us!
