The Girls

A week ago, four of my old friends came to visit over the weekend and despite the cold weather, we still had fun outside, first exploring a mine-turned-tourist-trap and then transporting ourselves back in time to visit a little medieval market / renaissance fair near a castle. I had been there before, a couple of times, but this time it was just us girls. We looked at all the sales booths, climbed the castle´s tallest tower (well, almost all of us, right Jo?), tasted licorice (the real kind = a twig of that tree), home-made juice, ate "Baumstriezel", a sweet treat, and observed our friend Carmen personally examining the exact workings of several torture chamber furniture. We dined out in the evening, at a Mexican restaurant, and took a tour around town in the evening.


















We had lunch together the next day, played a card game which belonged to my great-grandma (and which was in the Old German type font... yes, reading is easy ;) ), and finally strolled through a small valley with sweet rock formations nearby, this time with Dani. All in all, it was one fun weekend and over much too soon! I miss you already!
