Day 2: Mettlach and Villeroy Boch


This is the curve of the Saar River in Mettlach, Germany. Behind us, which you cannot see, is an old man serving wine made from apples grown in the region. He has not only the regional wine but the apples they were made from. I tried one. It is strange, though because they do not have wax or any of the things we put on them as Americans to make them 'more appealing', though they actually taste better this way. The little old Germans that were wandering around (wandern is also the German word for hiking, so maybe that is where we get the term.) were very cute as they explored the area. The river looks a little brown but the water is clear (which I can see thanks to my super cool Maui Jims) and the vineyards and fields are visible across the valley.


This picture was taken at the Mettlach Brewery. I tried a breathalyzer and got 1.17 (I chugged a beer so its not like I was drunk) It was located near the bathroom...I guess some sort of German game? I dont know...but it was fun to try. I managed to attract a large crowd around me while I did it. I guess an American trying these things out is entertainment for the local Mettlach community.

My first German beer... from the Mettlach brewery. It's kind of like a heffeweisen, but different. I have had a couple of shots now, so I am a little drunk and unable to type... but I am trying. It was a very good beer. We went to the pub afterwards. I did a tequila shot, a shot mixed with juice and something I am not familiar with. Needless to say, I will be sleeping very well. Connie is making me a sandwich right now. I will upload pictures as soon as possible. As of right now, though, Joshua, you are the only person I have told about this blog so this is my direct link to you.
