Fall has officially begun in Germany. Sadly, our summers and springs tend to be very short, so now begins the long rainy season before the snow. Matt and I had to rotate our wardrobes to put away most of our spring and summer clothes (a small reserve left out for our cruise to the Adriatic and Mediterranean in 2 weeks!!) and bring out our winter coats.
We have been enjoying the beginning of fall activities, the first we participated in was the Hitscherhof Pumpkin Festival.
Pumpkin Festival!
We enjoyed a great day with friends, shopping from local market vendors, trying yummy food (they had pumpkin bratwurst!), and wine. Naturally we bought some pumpkins to bring home!!
