Germany days 38-40: Black Forest

September 26th: On our way to the Schwarzwald, we stopped at a wine museum in Meersburg. It also had a traveling exhibit about concepts of death.

Totentanz figurines: in each one a living human is paired with a skeleton.
Now we know what my cartoon avatar look like.
Lunch. Carol had a spaetzel & salad, I went for a stuffed pork roll on ratatouille with potatoes.

Then we drove to Todtmoos, which we referred to as “Dead Moose” even though it actually means “Dead Moss”

My Chaoren Ratchet Belt was getting too long, so I had to shorten it by an inch for the 2nd time this trip. (1st time was in Iceland.) EMT scissors to the rescue.

September 27th: Found a nice fruit mix at the store, so …

breakfast

Carol took a morning hike while I tried to catch up on blogging.

A carved wood fox statue representing some local fairy tale.
All roads lead to Todtmoos.
We made our own lunch of pasta (with a jar of basil pesto), salad, and sauteed chicken.

September 28th:

For dinner, Carol had local trout with a Radler (mixture of beer and fruit cider), while I went for a tuna salad. I think we also got a quest point for having Black Forest Cake in the Black Forest, but sadly there doesn’t seem to be any photographic evidence.
