| Homemade (Hausgemacthe) bratwurst - the tastiest brat I have ever had. | Joh! A German department store - no different from our Hechts or Belks |

| Norma - the local grocery store. Don't you like the first aisle? Liquor and candy. | | Schlecker's - similar to Eckerds or Rite Aid drug stores in the U.S., without the pharmacy. These were in both Austria and Germany |

| Berhe Gladisch, the man who sold me my favorite German present of all - a 1950s Agfa bellows camera | Looking through my hotel window... any time of day. | Stained glass in the main meeting hall of the little borough Altenhaslau, literally across the river from Gelnhausen. |
