North Sea

Mood: ahoy matey
Noise: Bring Me Down by Pillar

Last week I travelled to the North Sea with the Bonnets to visit Heike's parents. Among other things, we enjoyed a boat tour, eating at a fancy restaurant overlooking the harbor shipping lanes, hunting for easter eggs, seeing the yearly Cuxhaven bonfire, combing the beach for shells, sampling a wide variety of traditional German seafood, and visiting a well designed experiential history museum that gave dimension to the stories of Germans who have chosen to immigrate to the US.

germany has great playgrounds for the "kids"

eating a traditional north German breakfast of Brotchen (like french bread rolls), tea, soft boiled eggs, raw salmon, and shrimp.
