I Have Hunger


We slept most of the morning and missed breakfast. Tom took Erin for a walk so at least she got to enjoy the beautiful day. We then set off for lunch. We drove to Meersburg which is an incredibly beautiful town along the lake, one of the oldest I think. Naturally, we arrive after 2 and can’t find anything to eat. Not only that, but we can’t find anywhere to park. So we drive back to Uberlingen, the town on the lake where I went to school when living there. It too is beautiful. We approach several restaurants and are turned away from all; only the Italians are open. Then Christian remembers the Kroner (the crown) restaurant, which is connected to a bar called the Galgenhurtzler (the guillotine). The bar is a hole in the wall that we used to drink at in high school. The restaurant is rather newly built and quite good. Scott finally got some weissewurst that he enjoyed so much he insisted we find them in the US. Erin and I of course went with the asparagus menu – yum, this time the white asparagus had raclette, a pungent cheese, baked on top. Erin and I had sour cherry juice mixed with sparkling water and Scott had some white wine but I don’t know what it was. After lunch we walked through the town and enjoyed the beautiful sights.
