Guten Abend! Heute (today), the GSE Team ventured to the city of Erfurt via der Zug (train). We were greeted by Herr Ernst Bergmann (pictured with us) and began a walking tour of the city with Frau Habisch. Erfurt has a very rich history with first written mention by Bonifatius in 742.
We had Mittagetten (lunch) in the "middle ages" at the Wirsthaus Christoffel. The restaurant was decorated with furniture and adornments of the time period. And the food... Schmeckt sehr gut! (It tastes very good). As mentioned in a previous post, three of us don't eat meat, but we have had little problem finding vegetarian and fish dishes everywhere we have been. And there hasn't been any opportunity to be hungry since we have arrived in Germany, we have been fed very well!
Next, we travelled to Messe Erfurt, the largest Congress Center and Exhibition Hall in Thuringen. While there we had the honor of meeting the Lord Mayor of Erfurt.
To end our day in Erfurt, we had the pleasure of visiting with Ulrike, from the German GSE Team to Pennsylvania. It was great to see a familiar face in the city!
Dies ist ein wunderbares Land! (This is a wonderful country)
