Deutschland: Tag Drei Weiter (Germany: Day 3 continued)

We traveled out to "The Mill" or "Zur Muehler" To eat tonight. It was a beautiful place way out in the back country. I'm noay out sure how people find it, but the smell of the food must lead them there. Right after we got started we crossed the river on a ferry and that was fun! On the way out into the country it turned into a single lane road and every so often there was a little pull off spot in case you met a car coming the other way. There was a really cool stream flowing next to the road the whole way up and I was really wanting to get out and take some pictures.

Another thing I have noticed in Germany is that people drive really fast! It was rather entertaining to drive on the back road at 50 miles an hour... or close to that. We got up to The Mill and it was set on top of a nice little hill and had a big water wheel on the side that was turning quite rapidly. There was a long trough that came from some where and turned to flow onto the wheel. There was a nice little brick square with some flowers around it. There was also an interesting stone table with an ovel base that I took a picture of and will post when I can.

The inside of the restaruant was really cool. There was a lot of stained wood and the ceiling had dark timbers going across in straigh lines. There was a lotof decorations too. There was some stone bunnies on a corner shelf and then there were different flowers and lights hanging every where. The tables we sat at were really nice too. They were very dark colored and had a nice wood grain. We ordered our drinks and I ordered Milch Kaffee (which is coffee and milk). It was really good and I drank it up fast. We then ordered our food and I ordered Rumpsteak, Pommes (french fries - Way better than Mcdonalds.), Zwiebeln (fried onions - They were sweet, but delicious. I like onions a lot!), Kraeuterbutter (herb butter), Salat (salad, which was rather different. It had all the lettuce on top and then it had shaved carrots and turnups on the bottom of my bowl with a lot of dressing. Very good though!), Spezi (A mix of Cola and orange fanta - Which was also really good). IT took a while for the food to come out, so we talked and then solved some Soduku puzzles. The food finally came and it was really amazing! The presentation was impressive and the tase was definitely equal to the looks. After eating my cousin Emily and I played around with our costers. We would lay them on the edge of the table so a little bit was stick off and then we would take our hand and flip them into the air and try and catch them. It takes some skill and then we would flip them across the table to each other and catch them which was even more difficult.

We then packed up and drove home. I looked through my pictures and then we have just been siting around and talking and I have been doing pictures and stuff. The basketball games are on the U.S. Military T.V. stations and my Uncle and Grandpa have been watching that. We are also getting ready for our trip over the week end. Which I will talk about as my adventure continues :)

My adventure continues with... The Weekend!! :D
