We saw a really runny cheese at the Fromagerie and so bought it, in the interest of science and gastronomy. When we opened it, we notices it came wrapped in leaves!
Well, paper printed to look like leaves. This seems to be a spring cheese.
It smells like decay and death though. I ate half and put the other half into my fridge. Opened the fridge a couple of days later and yelled "oh no! The power must have been off!" but no it was the cheese. The taste was great but it smells like old dead rodents.

Outside of German (and French) towns, people will have little gardens with little garden sheds. The German sheds resemble houses and since some of these are well-tended lawns and flower gardens, these must be lovely summer retreats, where one can go on the weekend and have a little BBQ or something.

German food is a teeeeeny bit heavy. Also, even the asparagus lacks greeness.

"Kein Krieg Gegen Iran: Für eine Welt ohne ABC-Waffen"
"No war against Iran: For a world without ABC Weapons" (I don't know what ABC stands for.)
There was an Easter Peace rally in front of the Rathaus (at Marienplatz) in München. A klezmer band played. A large group of audience members linked hands and danced around the concert area. For a while, they formed a ring, which by chance, I was in the middle of.
