The First Car
This is the Benz-Haus, the house where Carl Benz lived in Ladenburg once his company had become successful. He built was is considered the first workable automobile in 1886.
From this came the Mercedes Benz car factory which is known worldwide by the three pointed star.
This one adorns a model from the 1930ies standing in the Technik Museum Speyer, about 30 km from Carl Benz’ villa.

I Was soo Exhilarated
at least that’s what it says on the brooch. It is a memento from the 2012 Wurstmarkt in Bad Dürkheim, the largest wine festival in the world (sort of like a huge Oktoberfest with wine instead of beer). The little replica glass is called a Dubbeglas which is typical for the Palatium. They drink their wine in half litre glasses that have grooves so they don’t slip through their fingers when they eat something fatty at the same time.
Five Wet and Wonderful Words
Nautical: A fishing boat in front of Roker Pier in Sunderland.
Splendid: In the 18th century the Mannheim Palace was larger than the palace of Versailles.
Refraction: A circumzenital arc (not a rainbow) or the sky smiling.
Selected: A sculpture in the spa gardens of Bad Dürkheim. He’s been selected and he knows it.
Familiar: How more familiar can you get than snuggling bum to bum?
