Tempting Fate

We touched the lucky lions twice today (Sunday), so we may have been tempting fate a little bit. Eric's (at the moment) non existent post will probably tell more of the story. He is doing conference stuff. I wasn't required to stick around .... so I only stayed for half.

Residenz
We went to the royal palace and treasury today and saw some cool stuff

This statue, has an amazing amount of diamonds and precious pearls on it. It is of St. George slaying a dragon.

These are some of the pieces to a cool chess set, which Eric is sure to blog about, very intricate, much like everything else in the treasury.
Eric checking out the Antiquarium, which is the oldest room in the building and had some cool busts of people, like Ceaser, and a lot of people I don't know.

The Street Festival
After we touched the lions the first time we had no idea what to do, so we decided to walk along the street. Like magic a street festival appeared before our eyes. Despite the rain we slogged our way to the end, stopping for some currywurst along the way.

Currywurst (Brats with curry pepper

We saw a lot of booths and some dancers and a lot of rain, one booth in particular caught my eye.

A Car that runs on beer?? Isn't that better suited for drinking?

After we finished walking through the street festival we debated touching the lions for a second time. Eric said it would be greedy, I said it would be fine.... the result was.... us drenched in rain for the walk back and all the buildings we wanted to go to closed... perhaps Eric was right.
