So this is the ice cream today, mixed with Euro coins. We had a nice conversation with an old lady while we ate ice cream, which, btw, is better than anything you have ever tasted in America. It is like homemade ice cream, BUT creamier. I guess because their cows are not fed all the things they are fed at home here, AND they don't have laws concerning pasteurization (sp?) the ice cream is better.
So, the next few pictures are a little out-of-order. We had an interesting drinking night...as you can probably see. NO, the green fairy is not a real thing, but this liquor does get you MESSED UP. I guess it is the equivalent of 151. After one of these Absinthe drinks (and yes, this is real absinthe) and a couple of beers, it is hard for me to concentrate on the screen right now lol... go figure.
So, here is Connie and I taking the shot...it is a little blurry because we are moving as fast as possible to get the horrible liquid "down the hatch" so it was difficult for Annika to take this picture...
Here is our bicycle. By the way, Ashley+bicycle=epic fail. When they say "It's like riding a bike" well, I guess this does no apply to me. I had the hardest time staying on the bike, much less going forward (especially uphill). I fell off of it four times, two of which were in the middle of traffic. I feel like Vanna White here, posing and modeling in front of Connie and I's only mode of transportation. We outfitted the bikes with cushions, a basket and water bottles today. Everything we need...except some bruising creme because, I'm sorry...my butt is bruised. Sigh. Very painful. We both looked like old women sitting down today after spending all afternoon on the bikes. Funny...but horrible at the same time.
This is Connie at the Villeroy & Boch warehouse, where Annika works. I'm pretty sure this is about an acre of very expensive ceramic ware...not the place for me to be in. I stood still and had Connie stand by everything so that I would not break anything. For those of you that know me, you can understand that this is a legitimate concern. :)
Okay, so (because the pictures are out-of order) here is our "after absinthe" face. OMG disgusting. I think that is one of the most horrible drinks I have ever had, and I have had some pretty horrible things. I don't reccomend absinthe for anything but trying. I think if you have an opportunity to try it you should, but don't buy the bottle. I can almost guarantee that (unless you lack tastebuds) you will probably find this as disgusting as we did. We had the sugar, and the water and the fire and everything and it was horrible.
