Hanau Adventures!

 Here Jodie and Wanda are sporting their FFT bag!  Thanks to FFT...they are experiencing an unbeliavable journey!



 At long last.  This statue has served as a screen saver on our laptop for four months...to see the statue in real life brought tears to our eye!



 This litte teeny-tiny town taught us that many little villages in Germany close down between the hours of 2:00PM-5:00PM...so if you are hungry, too bad for you!  :)





This sign is for one of our favorite teachers:  Cindy Bauer!



You might not realize this, but sometimes the streets don't appear to be much wider than the sidewalks in Germany.  In Hanau we made a wrong turn and actually drove down several long blocks of sidewalks.  The really funny thing was that noone really paid much attention to us.  Lots of Germans walked by eating snacks and enjoying ice cream cones...but not one shook a finger at us or gave us an unusual look.  We were so very glad to exit off of the sidewalk and to get back on the narrow road again.  The laughter in the car filled it to the brim!  We were thrilled to find the statue of the Grimm brothers and begin our journey.  We also dined at the Grimm restaurant where we enjoyed the Hanau local dish of a pork sausage served with a green sauce that was made from 17 different types of "green" herbs.  It tasted like dill and cucumber.

  1. Mike must've been driving! Glad you are having fun. Nice pictures. I particularly like the one dedicated to Bauer. Now if you find one that says "Hoehne," that is my maiden name...and it's German, so maybe, just maybe ;) LOL!

  2. Do many cities have names on a pole like this one? We still cannot find where our "Beyer" family name came from.
