Bavarian liberation hall

Again last weekend we the three of us did a nice trip to Kehlheim and visited the Bavarian liberation hall. Nice place and a romantic view down to the Donau.

Well it is GGGee's hand that holds me there!







The liberation hall is a reminder of the victory over Napoleons troups. Nice building full of white angels and one black one. At least during our visit







was a funny trip and not the end of the day.

Bavarian Landscape

Well I have announced it in the past and now I will post some picture showing the Bavarian Landscape that T.so now lives in. The picture above shows me in front of the mayors hall in Nandlstadt, a small village with around 4001 inhabitants and one talking walnut!!

The first mention of this small village was around 1231. As there is evidence that humans settled here for the first time 1800 BC I didn't found anything about any bigger walnut population here, before herb entered the town!



Well to be honest the best things in Nandlstadt is the surrounding and nature in it self. But have a look at the pictures!!



In the next picture you can see the smokestack of the power plant in Zolling, where GGGee will live from next month on.







The Brünnlkapelle is a famous small chapel in Nandlstadt, where people pilgrimage too and pray for help of the holy Mary. When being helped they do donate a picture with a slogan liek: "Mary helped" on it. T.so and GGGee have seen similar on the isle of Symi, where people prayed to the holy Michael.







well you know the candle thing, don't you??

political VIP

On Monday evening, T.so and I visited a public speech of Karl Theodor zu Guttenberg in Zolling. He is the minister or secretary of economics in Germany since 100 days. He is the rising star of the CSU and most Germans like him. It was a typical Bavarian styled event. A brass band, beer in one liter sized glasses, traditional costumes (Trachten) and Lederhosen.



The speech was fluent and he had some good laughs from the audience. Some people wish that this man once should run for the office and be become Chancellor of Germany. He may become the German Obama. Well we will see.
I have caught some funny faces, while I was sitting on the table and listened to the secretary of economics. Well I guess they have never seen a walnut being interested in politics!

I managed to get an autograph from Karl Theodor zu Guttenberg, you can see it under the Bavarian Hymn. But he didn’t want to be on a photo with me. Well wait until I’m rich and famous, it may be to late for you then!



PS: I'm pretty sure that this is the only picture you can find in the Internet that shows the autograph of the acting minister of economics together with a walnut!!
Isn't that nuts??

Maypole

Well in Bavaria they do have a lot of traditions, one of them is to erect the maypole. It is always a big party, with lots of beer - here it was Augustiner - and Blasmusic! Bavarian outfits and so on ....



The maypole is allowed to stand for 5 years, then he must be renewed. This year it was time for the maypole in Ismaning. So I and T.so invites GGGee with two old friends of us to the erection of it in Ismaning. Weather was mighty fine, music was pretty much Bavarian.



It was good to see GGGee again and the party was very interesting, well there is superstitions, that touching the maypole brings luck and happiness, if done shortly after erection of it. So I touched him and hopefully the miracle is working.

That would be greatly nuts!!

Nice surprise

Well it was a nice surprise, when T.so called GGGee to tell her, that they have a meeting with their landlord on Wednesday to talk about ending the contract, GGGee asked if he wants to meet with her. She has signed her new contract with her new landlord and she would love to see him.

So we met at the beer garden in Haag an der Amper, it is about 4 miles away from Zolling and hosts the eldest beer garden in Bavaria.

Haag an der Amper itself is a nice and small town in Bavaria, take a look at the marketplace. Here we enjoyed the sun before meeting GGGee in the beer garden.

Later GGGee, T.so and me enjoyed the sun going down sitting on the bench, you can see above. We sat in the shadow of a lime tree. In the garden of T.so's father there is a lime tree with a bench wrapped around too. Some funny pictures of GGGee and T.so have been taking there. I guess GGGee remembers well.



So just enjoy some impressions of the eldest beer garden of Bavaria. It might sound more than nuts, but sure they both had fun in the beer garden, talking to each other.
So thanks for you question GGGee, was a pleasure seeing you.

One month

Well it has been one month since T.so packed his bags and took me away from GGGee and my old life. Seems so much longer for me.

In one month we travel approximately 78.34 million kilometers around the sun or 48.69million miles. A normal human heart will beat 2.592.000 times in one month. How often does a nuts heart beat in this month? You can guess right now.

But lets forget about all this statistics and get back to earth. Yesterday we visited GGGee and were afraid of what this meeting will bring to us. You can see me in front of the garden with T.so's ring as a halo. Thinking of halo, I whistled a little tune from Trent Tomlison: "He is an angel with no halo and one wing in the fire"



GGGee and T.so loves modern country and this song is a good one, maybe written just for T.so. Well to be honest I guess a lot of guys try to do good but as fallen angels they sinned from time to time and still could be angels with one wing in the fire.

We walked to the beer garden near by, you must know that beer gardens are the most lovely parts in Bavaria. People always seems to be relaxed there. If you ask humans they would probably say this is due to the beer they drink, but let me tell you a little secret that only nuts do know:

People are relaxed due to the shadow and the soothing karma of the chestnut trees. Talking about chestnut reminds me of an other quite famous country singer!

So GGGee thanks for a nice evening, hope to see and meet you soon again
