To the airport
My uncle Mike picked us up in Frankfurt and drove us to meet his friends Claus and Rosa for some traditional schnitzel. Schnitzel is essentially breaded pork. We had jagerschnitzel which is a schnitzel with a mushroom gravy. Kevin also had his first taste of German beer. I even drank a whole beer and I don't drink beer. After dinner we went over to Claus' for some schnapps. Schnapps here isn't like the schnapps at home. It is 40% alcohol and is flavored but it is used to settle the stomach after dinner. Claus was impressed cause he assumed I would make a face or not take the whole shot but I took it with no problem and he about feel over with surprise. We also had to share a liter of beer. It was in this huge mug and we each took turns attempting to drink as much as possible at once. Kevin really enjoyed this and has vowed that he will finish a whole liter of beer by himself before the end of the trip.
Our trip to Switzerland, Austria, and Lichtenstein got canceled so we are going to do a medieval castle tour and dinner instead on Saturday and Uncle Mike is taking us to the Black Forest on Sunday. Pictures soon to come!!!!
