Lemons and Flowers

2:37 PM 7/14/2006

This afternoon we went to the German cantina. It was pleasant! The menu items are all in German, of course, but most are close enough to English to figure out. I had the "gormet fische" and John had a schnitzel sandwich. Jacob had a great time nibbling on the lemons. He makes a face every time, but goes right back to licking the lemon. Hysterical.

I am so impressed with the variety of wildflowers on the post. On the way to the cantina we walked by a blackberry tree... yes, I know I must be mistaken because blackberries grow on bushes in the states, but it sure looks like blackberries to me. I saw a bird on the way back with yellow feathers - a first! The plants here seem to be a broad range of colors... so far I've seen purple lavender, some kind of silver grass that looks like onion, yellow daisies, and a plant whose small round leaves look transparently glassy. Weird. There is a silvery christmas tree just outside of the hotel. When we pass them I let Jacob take a look but try not to let him destroy them!
