Atkin Family: Bad Waldsee City Celebration July 30-31, 2011

Top Things We Miss Most From Germany!!!

So we are very happy to be home again but there are a few things that we miss from our stay in Germany. There is a saying that says something like once you have crossed the Atlantic Ocean you will never be completely at home again. We love it here but we also loved our stay there, mostly because of the wonderful friends we made there but also because of the wonderful experiences we had that aren't likely to be re experienced anytime soon. So our list of the things we miss the most. The food items just aren't as good here anymore or can't be found here.
1-Friends
2-Castles
3-Yogurt
4-Cheeses
5-Musli (granola cereal with numerous types of yummy variations)
6-Wurst (a wide variety of sausages)
7- New Experiences and Scenery that are nothing like we have at home. Ex.-Train travel, GREENness everywhere, immersion in a different language and culture.

Bad Waldsee City Celebration July 30-31, 2011

Bad Waldsee did their city celebration July 30-31. On Saturday we wandered around but it was very crowded. The Reute and Gaisbeuren bands served supper and a hired band played. We did eat supper there too. Sunday they did a firework show. We walked over in time for the firework show. They did the firework show over the city lake. It was hard to get a place to see the show but we did see most of it. After people released floating candles onto the lake. They were in different colored cups and it looked really cool. Even the late night walk home was nice. It would have been a little better had we remembered a flashlight but the foot path ran along the main road and there was a moon so it wasn't pitch black.
