A day at Cora

My friend "Washington State Apples" and I took a drive to France last week for a shopping trip, for what? French food! MMMMMM...it was so exciting, as I do love food and haven't had a foreign(ok Germany doesn't count) food shopping trip since our trip to Tenerife in October. The pate, paella, cheese, salami, mini vegetables; I couldn't contain myself! And customer service agents on roller skates? Priceless!

Asparagas Fest in Fellbach

Day at Schwabenpark

Ilka and Bernd invited us to go to Schwabenpark today. It was fabulous! An old-fashioned family run amusement park with a chimp riging a pony, parrots, tigers, goats, llamas and fish. One of the chimp trainers was also the one who served us lunch:*) This is my kind of park....small, family operated, and not too expensive!
