We love our town. Ok, it's more of a village. An 'Ort' ('place', auf Deutsch) if you will. It is small, and we like that. We like the Dorfladen (it's on the 'net!!!
check it out!) 'cause it's like the village hub. We like the excursion train that 'toots' through every weekend. We like the people we have met and the places we have been. And, hey, what's not to like? These folks like to have parties! We (that is the collective, village, we) are preparing for the Brunnenfest that takes place this weekend. It's a two day festival to celebrate the fountains in town (we have two). Some towns have more than that, good on them, we like ours. Back at the beginning of May we had a big Maibaum (May tree) party to celebrate putting up ... um ... the ... er ... Maibaum (of course). Pics included here:
Jezt kommt der Maibaum!
A permanent hole
just for the Maibaum!
Decoration is key ...
Up it goes ...
A final adjustment ...
Music for the occasion!
I think I need to take my whistles with me tomorrow for the Brunnenfest, you never know when some Irish music may be needed in a German village ...

Sounds like a nice place to be. How long does the tree stay up?
Well, that is a wait and see question....it is still up!
