The Big Schnitz!
I woke up early to have breakfast in our apartment with Jason. For those of you who have never eaten European yogurt, you’ve got to put it on your list of things to do one day. Even the low fat ones taste yummy. I had yogurt & some Cornflakes (which are also tastier).
After Jason left for work, I went to the lobby to check out the internet access. I spent the rest of the day unpacking and organizing our apartment. With all our stuff, we still have room to spare!
When Jason got home, we drove to Downtown Dresden. There are many things to explore in this city alone. We are actually living in Radebeul which is just outside of Dresden.
We passed many Doner stands and restaurants (shaved meat), and plenty of other eateries we’ll have to try.
The light was dimming, so we headed back to Radebeul to eat a Big Schnitz.
There is a lot of flooding, but the river is starting to recede.
For dinner, I had my first German beer in a long time. I’m not a big beer drinker (or alcohol drinker for that matter), but I figure I’m in the mother country of beer. I had a Radeberger, split the Big Schnitz with Jason, and a yummy Apfelstreudel. The Big Schnitz is essentially the largest weinerschnitzel I’ve ever seen. Jason and I split it, and I didn’t even finish it! It was served on a bed of potatoes and salad.The people here are very nice. I’m glad that we’re in Germany. It’s going to be a great adventure…a new chapter in our lives.
Hopefully, we can learn some German. My question is, once we learn it, will we understand the person’s response? Here I am with my Radeberger…I actually finished the whole thing! It took me eating a lot though. Jason felt awkward taking my picture, but we weren’t the only ones taking pictures. Thanks for the training, Dad!
Here I am in front of the restaurant – Loessnitztal-Schaenke.
I thought it would be funny to take my picture in front of this statue. You know how I was never quite tall enough for rides…this guy (who has a bandage wrapped around his thumb) is giving me the thumbs up.
