Schuhplattler Dinner Music
By Lothar. Filed in Germany |
Yesterday was my first day on this trip and we finished the day with dinner and musical entertainment. We took the bus from Oberammergau back to Garmisch and walked with the students through the downtown area. Gabi had booked our dinner at the restaurant “Fraundorfer” and we had typical Bavarian cuisine plus accordeon music, songs and performances of the “Schuhplattler dance”( dancing with hitting your palms on your shoes and “Lederhosen”).
Dinner selections included things like “Radi” (raw horseradish slices with salt), beef tongue,
“Sauerbraten,” “Schnitzel,” “Weisswurst,” “Haxen” (pork leg on the bone), and so on. We were surprised by the willingness of some of our students to try new food items.
We walked back to the train station and took the train for the 2 hour ride back to München.
We finally went to bed around 12:30AM and had to get up again at 5:30 the next morning for our
ICE train from München to Berlin.
Our whirlwind tour of German cities continues and I don’t even have time to notice jetlag.
