Poppy Love

Awesome day.

It's Corpus Christi today, another one of those movable feasts that means a holiday for people here in Hesse and in Rheinland-Pfalz but not in most of the north and east of Germany. I'll take a Thursday off anytime.

We went for a bit of a hike that took us through some very nice parts of the countryside (vineyards, barley fields, little villages and stuff) and after a five hour stomp of unremitting loveliness, we found the village we had parked in had no pub/restaurant.

However, after coming back to Wiesbaden we found a very unassuming place that did the Best Spare Ribs Ever. G had ordered them and I think we all felt jealous. First thing I said when I saw them "we're coming back here..." Who knew pigs had so many ribs?

We ate and laughed as the rain pelted down (after the sun had done it's very best to barbecue me for 5 hours) and now I'm ready for bed. Danke M & A, und wie immer, danke G. Ein toller Tag.
