Easter in Germany!

This last weekend was Easter. Germans as with most Europeans get actual days off for holidays! Easter is no exception, most Germans have Good Friday and the Monday after Easter off. Which means a lot of businesses were closed. On normal Sundays clothing stores, grocery stores and pretty much everything but half the restaurants, some gas stations, and museums are closed. Even the prostitutes take the day off! Easter Sunday almost everything was closed with the exception of maybe Starbucks and some Biergartens. Everyone seemed to leave town, which meant that hotels and roadways were crowded.

Since Brian didn't have any time off we decided to stay around town this weekend. We took the time to hang out with some new friends that Brian works with. They introduced us to some great places to hang out and some delicious food! Not to mention the great company and stories we got! We also figured out if you are only going 3 stops on the train it is only 1 Euro! Granted most of the time I could walk 3 stops but it's good to know especially for late nights!

On actual Easter we drove to the Black Forest and went searching for Little Red Riding Hood. We didn't find her or the big bad wolf but we did find a lot of trails and markers and some beautiful trees. It started to thunder and rain off in the distance so it really was almost like an eerie fairytale setting. Everything is so green and fragrant.

For some unknown reason we didn't take any pictures.
