About a month ago, Jerry, Mr Jerry, Dom, Taylor, Carrie, Melissa, and I headed down to New Braunfels for Wurstfest, the ten day salute to sausage.


No, I am not making that up. It's a chance to celebrate all things German with beer and meat on a stick. What could be better than that? Highlights included: sausage sampler on a stick, fried cheesecake, pitcher after pitcher of heffeweissen, pork chop on a stick, men in lederhosen, women with flowers in their hair, hearing the chicken dance every hour, and listening to a teenage violin virtuoso.


We might just have to go back next year. And next time, I'm getting a hat.

I went to NB as part of a fam tour put on by Texas Tourism Agency in the 80s...an interesting town. I remember a winery there and think it's near Aquarena Springs where Pirahhna was filmed and where Ralph The Diving Pig dives from a high tower several times a day.
