the last 24?

Let’s talk about the food for a minute. When I was in France I made it a speacil point to stop by and check out a McDonald’s. As they say in Pulp Fiction, it is true that in France they call the ¼ pounder with cheese the Royal Cheese. Just Like Vincent said it is because of the metric system. It just proves to you that all movies are true. So we are headed back to France from Germany for the last time and that should be good.
Germany is a trip. We started in Nuremburg. and then went to Wertzberg and then and back. The best part about Nuremburg is that it is the heart of where they wear lederhosen . I was this close to being the new owner of a pair, but it was a little steep. Man, I would have looked awesome in it.
It is very easy to see that English came from German. We use a lot of words that they use and so getting around was not too bad. We tried to take the bus to our meeting but it got to the end of the line and 1) did not make everyone get off and 2) did not say anything. It was really odd. So we rode a couple of more stops back down the route and got off and found a taxi. I tell you that story to tell you this one. So maybe getting around was worse than I thought.
So we get a taxi and the guy says he knows where it is and drives us over there. Well the company had moved. He speaks with the woman in the box and she gives the directions to the correct place. At this point our fare is €10.10 and we are not in the correct location. Now this driver is really upset and is very sorry that he took us to the wrong place. So he resets the meter to take us to the correct place. We finally get to the correct place and the fare this time is €10.10. That was too strange. The people in Germany are very nice. I think I am going to move here not because the people are nice but they eat everything that I really enjoy.
After the meeting, we get back to Nuremburg and we are looking for something to eat. For breakfast I had a croissant with a hot dog in it. Wow is that good. How could the morning start any better than that? Stay away from the coffee because that does not taste good. Then we had to stop and get a soft pretzel. What a deal. Maybe the best soft pretzel that I have ever had and it was €.60. So we get back from our meeting and now we are looking for some lunch. We start walking in a smaller section of town and we find this place that sells all of the great German food (schnitzel, sauerkraut and sausages). So this place rocked. It was just like something that you would see out a movie. The head waitress was older and had short hair and looked not so nice. Kind of like a mean Grandma, and the young waitress looked like she used to party quite a bit but still had some life left in her. The cook was a big man who after he was done making our meals came out and poured himself a beer. Man it was awesome, so when in Germany act like the Germans. I thought about getting the 50 sausage plate because of how awesome it was but instead I got the 6 sausage plate with warm potato salad and it was so good. The soft pretzels at the restaurant were quite good. The pretzel bread itself was salty so they did not have any added on. As we are leaving the restaurant we notice that there is a peep show right next to us, and it opened at 10 am. It was also a sex shop so they were open for all of those early morning sex needs.
As for Sex in Germany, man do they love there S&M.. You should see some of the stuff that they had on display I could only imagine what they had in the back of the store. In the .5 km that it took to find us this restaurant we must have passed 3 S&M stores. It was unreal. I would have thought we were in the wrong section of town but there were a lot of other more normal stores in that area. So who knows, but I can tell you that they are there, and the German’s love to get beat.
The biggest bummer about being in Germany was that I did not hear one Techno song. That was really too bad. Their style is awesome though. I saw one business man who looked like he was a professional, and he was wearing a brown striped shirt, black striped pants that were a different size stripe, brown jacket and dark shoes. Clearly he does not the rules even I would not wear that outfit.
This maybe the best story of the trip. So we go through security in Nuremburg (without having to take our shoes off) and everything is good. Nothing beeps and we are good to go. Then we are walking around and in one of the gift shops we see them selling standard gift shop stuff except for one item. That item is Swiss Army knives. Who needs to bring weapons through security when you can just by them after you are through. Man this is a different place. I almost bought one just to say that I did. I think America has other things to worry about than if people are bringing weed or whatever through the airport. So that is want is going on. We more than half way done with the trip. Sorry for the long post but as usual, MORE TO COME.

Peace out.
