    I have been talking so much about it - here it is, Franconian wine in the typical bottle, the 'Bocksbeutel'. It comes in other bottles, too - but only Franconian wine may come in vessels like this one. Unique!

    This is a painting of Balthasar Neumann. Remember? He built the Residenz and so many more of Würzburg´s baroque buildings. He is pretty well-known, and most Germans daily hold his picture in their hands......

    As mentioned above, I actually stayed in Bad Kissingen and there you can visit the ruin of the 'fort' Botenlaube. It got his name from a Count Bodo who was mentioned for the first time in 1004.

  • When visiting German shops, order '1' of something with your thumb, '2' with your thumb and index finger, etc. And the ladies room is Damen, the mens is Herren.
