So far I am loving German food and beer. The food has been amazing; I've had Schnitzel, Spätzle (noodles), schwäbisch Kartoffelsalat, and "Torte Flambee" which is like pizza but very thin crust and no yeast. For breakfast, the hotel has served sausage, bacon and scrambled eggs, as we might find in America, but then there was such a wide variety of breads. They had wheat and rye artisan breads with a bunch of jams to choose from, and the most amazing buttery croissants. Of course there were also fresh Danish pastries as well. Every dish has been absolutely delicious. My friend and I became good friends with the bartender in Mike's Urban Pub, the bar attached to our hotel (Ibis). The food there is great and well priced, but more importantly, the staff is hilarious and very amiable. It gave us a great opportunity to practice our German, too. We also tried out the Biergarten nearby, Neckarmüller. They had some delicious food ("Tomatenbrot" which turned out to be similar to bruschetta) and beer as well, and with an amazing view of the Neckar river. I've really been enjoying German beers. They are far less bitter than beers I've tried in America, and so far I have yet to meet one I don't like. And since at restaurants they tend to be cheaper than water, I've been taking the opportunity to order a small beer with my dinner to try out new types. The best food I have eaten here so far was at this adorable little Schwabian place called Wurstküche (meaning sausage kitchen). It's set in the Altstadt (Old Town) right in the center of tiny walking streets. I had an amazing dish with Spätzle (German noodles), pork, and Schwäbian potato salad. And now it's time to adult....
