Life in Hamburg - Food, Jägermeister, Family

Jägermeister Family
somehow Fabian, Uncle Rolf, and I finished off a large Jagermeister bottle by ourselves during a dessert break, that turned into a serious drinking session. because of the hearty meal of sausage, heavy bread, and cheese, shown below, i managed not to puke in the woods and embaress myself on the short walk home. today i can drink it so, unlike tequila, so apparently it really must be medicinal like my family tells me.


stadtpark

the park next to the neighborhood is beautiful. it is 3 miles around the lake and you see people 77 years old riding bicycles, walking, etc. everyone looks so healthy. the two pics above are examples of the park. why can't our parks be like this...it is clean, no garbage on the floor, dogs walk without leashes and actually are very well behaved... maybe its because people respect nature here, maybe its a social system and/or maybe the "tragedy of the commons" applies here.



Tante Ingrid (75 years old - and still going strong) and Kiki
Snoop Doggy Dog

hearty german snack - Dinner for me
people like flowers here. that is another nice thing about germany. flowers are cheap and everyone grows them in their yard. my aunts house has 7 flower vases all over. this is a picture of a house of a summer house, about 700 square feet.

Mafiosi Herta
