Kiran!

We received a visit from the lovely KIRAN!!! Yay! I urge you all to come and do the same. I love visits. Our couch is lonely without a warm body to keep it company, and we are comepletely overrun with sausages, too, and in need of help eating them... (I'm sure we can even scrounge up some ghee to fry them in for those who so desire.)


Kiran enjoying two major pleasures of our German existence: The bratwurst sausage with mustard and The Paulaner weissbier... ah, good times.

We visited the Koelner Dom, which is the massivist most kick ass cathedral ever. (It's in Cologne, which is 40mins from Duesseldorf). You really can't do it justice with a camera - it's just too tall.

These two dudes were hanging out in the doorway...

...checking out this chick.

My best meal to date in all of Germany was in Cologne at the Haxenhaus Am Rheingarten. It's an inn/pub/restaurant that's been around for a few hundred years. Damn good lamb knuckles, schnitzel and sausage!

More on our Hungary exploits to come soon...! :)

this is muneera writing. HI!!!!!

personally, i think you guys had far too much fun without me, but i will forgive and forget in the spirit of love and friendship and the fact that i couldn't possibly ever eat those sausages that look like a cross between a mutant penis and a long piece of poop (meaning i wouldn't have come over anyway).

Let me know when you find a buddhist/harekrishna/ayurveda following (with restaurants) so i can make my over and know that i will survive.

you guys sure saw some pretty places and big-ass structures. of course, all the styles originated in India way back when. ha! but its a commendable effort nonetheless. (hee hee!)

so, enough of my humble comments on your wonderful blog. keep up the good writing/updating work - especially the pictures.

yay for blogs and good friends.
love you guys lots.

FYI, muneera bugheera...

in my second week here, during my quest for brown rice, i managed to locate a natural food store that sells GHEE. and great natural soaps, which i am a sucker for. and they have macrobiotic lunches for their community 3 days a week. they were very friendly in inviting a foreigner to come and join them to eat and meet people. and they sell all kinds of alternative grains, such as spelt and barley, and and and kiran got a bag freshly ground for her sensational homemade barley pasta (the recipe for which tony is now prviy to)!

so THERE. not everyone here eats sausages... but it is for sure the majority! :)
