Uncle Big Bob and Aunt Lu

This weekend brought a return to one of Rob's many "hometowns." We visited our friends, the Duffies, in Vilseck, Germany, where Rob lived for 4 years. It's a small Bavarian village surrounded by farms and forests. Erika got to see a little of where Rob was from and we got to eat at a few of Rob's favorite restaurants. We spent most of the weekend playing with Denali- Rob spent most of his time reading her books and flying her around the room, and so he didn't take many pictures. Here, Denali and her dad feed the ducks at the stream behind their house:

We also spent an afternoon in Nuremburg, a gorgeous medieval city that still has much of the original wall encircling the city center. We did a little shopping, walked through the market and followed an old city tradition of turning a brass ring in a fountain for luck:

Frenchies and Steak-on-a-Stone are definitely next! There just wasn't enough time to get them all.

Frenchies? Which one is Frenchies?? I don't think Jon ever took me there. I feel cheated!!

And the one attempt we made at steak on a stone didn't work out.
