Whose Festival Is It?
At the outset of our annual town festival the mayor and other dignitaries as well as the wine princesses of the region gather on the balcony of the old town hall. The mayor gives a speech and everybody waits for the cannon to fire from the nearby castle. Once the shot is heard the mayor asks the crowd below: “Wem is die Kerwe?” and the crowd bellows: “Unser!!!” – and four days of revelling can commence.

and three minutes to seven in Bourg-en-Bresse at the con-cathedral Notre Dame.

We Call Crisps Chips

Either way, I prefer the beers (not necessarily that brand).

I thought the cairns had a cultural or historical significance but no! people just like to make little … Continue reading From Mammoth to Pebble
Supersized or Bearded – It’s all just a Dragon to Me
At the German Dragon Museum in Lindenfels they have a Tyrannosaurus Rex’ skull. If these teeth aren’t SUPERSIZE, I don’t know what is. And although it is only the cast of a skull, it is protected against THEFT. In the end, is a DINOSAUR not … Continue reading Supersized or Bearded – It’s all just a Dragon to Me
