Today is Britta and Osse’s daughter, Lotte’s, birthday brunch. We skipped the big breakfast and Brian opted for a run while Amy caught up on the blog. We drove about 20 minutes to a suburb of Bad Durkheim (remember that from the Wurstmarkt Day?) and got to see everyone all together. Lotte is studying Theology and Aunt Eva gave her a Chinese Bible that belonged to her great-grandparents (the parents of Uncle Johannes) from 1916, who were missionaries just like the Wilhelm family. What an interesting connection to the past! The food was an assortment of everything you could imagine. Brian and Amy took a detour after brunch to go back to the Wurstmarkt to look around in the daylight. We did some souvenir shopping but didn’t have much luck. Britta picked us up and we ... read more

Geo: 49.4621, 8.16554 GÜN 6 GÜNLERDEN ÇARŞAMBA Kallstadt'tan sonra, günün programa göre en son kasabası olan Bad Durkheim'e yöneldik. Ayşecik artık yorulduğu için arabada kalmak istedi. Garın karşısında belasız bir park yeri bulduk ve ben kenti ziyarete başladım. Arması bir fer forje ortamı yaratıyor.... Burada Dünyanın en büyük şarap fıçısı varmış .. İlle de bulacağım diye anam ağladı, ama beni hiç bir şey durduramadı .. Nasıl da saklamışlar namussuzlar. Öyle saklanacak kadar ufak tefek değil ama pek ortalarda da değil... Sora sora şarap fıçısı bulunur... Burası adından belli olacağı gibi bir kaplıca kenti. Kaplıca olunca kumarhanesi ve yeşil alanları, bu işe paralel olarak gelişmektedir. Akıllıca bir yaklaşımla, dünyanın en büyük şarap fışısın... read more
