Travel Season Begins

Since the last post we've been waiting for summer to arrive in Germany. Back when it was still dreary and rainy Oma and Opa visited us and here are the Wittkamp men (Hans, Jochen and Mini Me) all hard at work doing taxes or account reconciliations or whatnot.
Pig's travel season started early this year, and kicked off with a stay at the Frankfurt grands in early May after cheering Papi on for the Mainzer Marathon.

Second half of the month found us in Munich, where we happened upon the annual brewer's fest at the Viktualianmarkt. The free beers started flowing at 11am AFTER the men in Lederhosen danced around with wreaths...ah, where would German stereotypes be without Bavaria! Pig loved the bustle, the horses, the bells and whistles!

We met up with our favorite well-over-70s couple again in June to head off to the Bavarian Woods, just on the border to the Czech Republic. We did a lot less hiking than intended, due to the heat, the compulsion to catch as many WC games as possible, and sheer laziness. However, the hotel we stayed at was positively idyllic so we enjoyed lolling on the grounds, teaching Pig how to blow dandelion spores (of course he had to take a big bite first) and giving him a flower power makeover!

so I'm waiting around at work, and my procrastination routine is to check various websites, including this one (and considering when the last entry was on the blog, you can see how desperate I am to not work). Imagine my delight to see a new entry... except the computer at work won't give me pictures! Argh! All I see are tantalizing little X's where I know there are cute Pig pictures waiting. See yous soon!
