Friday we went to a birthday party of one of Kyle’s coworkers, Andy (he’s the other guy that tapped a keg at Elke’s party back in November). Good evening, and made it back just in time to catch the last train home. Saturday we headed out with Christian and Elke to Wurzburg, on their kind invitation. Elke’s family has a building there in which they conveniently still have a flat, so we were able to stay there and tour the city while they took care of some business with the rented space on the first floor. Her family has owned the building since the late 40s, and one of the tenants is a 95 year old woman (living on the 4th floor – no elevator!) who has been there since the building was built. 
Saturday evening we went to a great little weinstube in town. A class had just gotten out, and as we were ordering the red wine sampler, the sommelier came over and explained in wonderful detail the wines of the region, the specific wines we were tasting, and why red is better than white! The next day we traveled to a teeny town called Sommerhausen (Winterhausen is just across the main road) on the way home. Wonderful time, and we’ve realized that back in Austin we should really take more advantage of our weekends, as short day trips can really complete a weekend.
