Springerle and Glassblowing
... pronounced shpring-er-lee) 'cookies from a German housewife'. It was rather misrepresented, as our teacher was an 18 year old student, and rather than cookies, we made ornaments using springerle molds. I guess I am going to have to go on-line to learn to make the cookies! It was interesting nonetheless. We were in a classroom at Miltenberg Museum for this activity.

Lots of open vegetable and flower markets--too bad I could not take ...
Expedition Europe Engaged
