We had a great weekend in Germany, leaving Holland early Saturday morning and returning Sunday evening. Aachen was where Charlemagne came and built a church and castle and decided to make it the Holy Roman Empire's capital for a little while. It's a neat town full of fountains, thermal spas, cool statues and good German food! There was a festival going on and it sounded like the beer-drinkers were having a great time! We did find an Italian restaurant that was very authentic. We got better service than the Germans just by speaking Italian.
Sunday morning we drove down to Monschau, which is a little town nestled in a valley surrounded by high hills. Fred enjoyed another warm appletart, and I bought a beautiful yellow leather purse for only 10 Euros. (sale shopping...different country...same passtime)
Monschau reminded us of the little Swiss town we would travel to when living there. The stream runs through the entire town, and some of the buildings look as if they've spend too much time in the biergarten! Luered by the "Appletart" sign, Fred was compelled to try another in his search for the perfect one. This one passed the test as you can see!
