KrautFest

Well the weekend is here and with it--KrautFest or as we Americans living here in Echterdingen call it-CabbageFest! On Sunday, the city workers (I assume) began setting up by stringing flags of green and white cabbages all through the streets. Then, little by little, booths appeared, and then a stage, and then the vendors! Outside our kitchen window, a band is playing Eric Clapton and the locals, on foot, are munching away at all sorts of cabbagey delicacies. I'm excited to try the Gluhwein, a spiced wine served hot, and maybe get a Crabby Patty! Yes thats right, one of the vendors is selling the crab cake burgers that Mr. Krabs and Nickelodeon have made so famous! Should be a great weekend--I'll be sure and let you know!
