Today we hit several summer festivals in neighboring towns. We headed north toward Heilbronn and took in our first Volksmarch with the kids. A Volksmarch is a community hike that sometimes winds through the town or forest area; today, the vineyards. What a beautiful sight. We were able to have some great food, apflsaftshorle (carbonated apple juice - a local favorite and Borke family staple), belgian waffles, schweinsteak mit brochen (marinated pork steak with a hard roll), kaffee, and Jack's favorite....rote wurst (german style hot dog)! On a Volksmarch you are always guarenteed a beautiful view and great food. After we left our mark at the vineyard we headed south to Essingen am Nekar - a beautiful cobblestone town along the river. There we stumbled upon more vineyards, a castle on the hill, several cannals winding through the village and an international Handball tournament. What more could you ask for? The kids are really enjoying all the sights to see.
Tomorrow's adventure will be attending our new church home and having dinner with new friends. We are still in temporary housing on base awaiting the final signing of our papers for our rental house.
In the meantime, enjoy some photos from today! We miss all of you!
No, he's not bleeding...it's cherry juice from a cherry tree he found!
