Just when we’ve gotten a couple of new German words under our belts, it’s almost time to change countries.

It’s a challenge to get regular water here, either at the train stations or the restaurants. You have to order still water to get one without bubbles, but it usually has some kind of flavor. I’ve learned the word Leitungswasser for tap water. I bought a bottle of apple juice once and that had bubbles too.

Had dinner at Gasthaus zum Ochsen in Rust. Denise had Hausgemachte Käsespätzle, homemade noodles fried with cheese, bacon and onions. I had Delikater Bauernschmaus, potato wedges fried with bacon, salami, sausage, green onions, egg, and cheese. It was very good. Large portions too, maybe because we were Americans. When the owner seated us, he started whistling the US national anthem. His daughter was sent to our table to take our order because she just spent a year in the US. In fact, she was in Olympia Washington. Funny that she knew were Olympia was, but not Bacharach Germany. Very nice people.
