A few of my favorite things in Lüneburg

I love this town sooo much! There are so many silly, quaint and fun things to do and see. Here are a few of my favorite...


The next 4 pictures were an adventure we had trying to open a bottle of wine without a cork screw. We eventually settled on a screw into the cork and then prying it loose with our fingers/scissors. A lot of work for a cheap bottle of wine!Earl thought he could get it with his teeth...he was mistaken...

Annie couldn't hold her food in anymore it was THAT funny and ridiculous!

We finally got it!! And broke a chip out of the bottle in the process!! Whoops.


This is the Lüneburg "beach". It's become one of our most favorite hang outs. If you climb to the top of the rock face on the opposite end of this picture, you'll get to see one of the most amazing views of the city.

This is the CRAZIEST, MEANEST swan I've ever met. This is the male swan (the female swan is content to NOT bite people). One this particular day, we were having a picnic at the "beach"and Mr. Swan decided he wanted to join in. He literally attacked us and started rooting through our bags and stole our salami! No joke! He continued to harass us until a crazy German bum shooed him away for us...apparently German water fowl are quite assertive!

Lüneburg advertisements make use of some pretty awesome statues. This lady is my favorite...

You have not had real ice cream until you've had this stuff. It's AMAZING! It blows any Gelatto in the US out of the water!

Horse and buggy rides here? No big deal. It's pretty much a medieval town anyway...

German Graffiti is some of the most creative and intense I've ever seen. No one bothers to wash it off because most of it is so good. And one rarely sees offensive things either. This is one of my favorites.

Wednesday night karaoke at the Irish Pub. We're singing "Devil Went Down to Georgia". We brought down the house... =)
Singing "Down by the Bay" while down by the "beach". We often break out into song...and sometimes song AND dance...
