Germany... and Larry's Restaurants!

We have found a wonderful hotel in the little town of Nümbrecht, Germany. The town is in the area from whence Larry's maternal grandfather's family came. We actually found it, following the process we have dubbed "circling the drain." (The same process was applied in Coventry, Coleshill, Portsmouth, and Coventry.) And we had a wonderful dinner in a little old place that is the local pfannkuchen haus - pancake house. Beautiful savory pancakes with various toppings and fillings. Larry had smoked trout with horseradish and cranberries, and I had the local Bergische special - minced beef with herbs, mushrooms. Both were delicious, and we shared a wonderful corn saladwith it. Perfect in every regard. Here is Larry at the Pfannkuchen Haus in Nümbrecht:
Bruges was truly wonderful. We enjoyed walking the city along the canals, and seeing museums and all the sights. The cathedral (well, one of them) had an amazing Stations of the Cross - all photographs of contemporary subjects. Very moving.

We also found a restaurant we liked very much indeed. Excellent cooking, small, quiet, more than pleasant! We ate there twice! It's called De Peppermölen (The Peppermill). If you are ever in Bruges, don't miss it! Here is Larry in front of the De Peppermölen:
We leave from here tomorrow to head north, probably to Hamburg. Then on Saturday we go to Denmark to see friends who are pastors in the little Jutland town of Starup. Well, one is there - the other on the cathedral staff in Hadeslev. In closing, here is one of Larry's night pictures from Bruges:
