Konz--Day trip on Thursday, May 11

With Konz only being a 15 minute train ride away just a bit southwest, we decided to catch a train before our class at 4 p.m. to have lunch and stroll around. It was much smaller than Trier and was along the Saar river, which made for a pretty walk on such a nice day.

We had lunch at a chinese restaurant along their main street. One thing that I miss most about eating Chinese in the States is crab ragoon...I have yet to see that on the menu here at asian restaurants. But, my rice and veggie lunch was good AND even better with my ice cream to top it off! (There was an ice cream cafe just down the street...how could we resist on such a beautiful day?)

It was refreshing to be in a small German town without at any museums or huge sightseeing attractions. I am, of course, always intrigued by both...but, it just felt more genuine in Konz that day. A simple day in a simple town.



A perfect day for ice cream in Konz! (Straticella is my second favorite to butterkeks!)
