July 8: Kiel

We went to bed around 9:00 pm here and slept until 3 am or so. For some reason then all of us were up and could not sleep for an hour or two. It would have been 9 pm in the US by then, so actually close to real bedtime, but we could not settle down. Finally, we all got back to sleep and slept solid until after 9:30 in the morning, the boys actually slept til 11:00 am (5 am in US)!! We're still tired, but sooo much better!

Baby Marion is so cute! Also, the boys enjoy Lina the dog.

We decided to just go downtown Kiel today. We took a nice walk along the Fjord, close to where the cruise ships leave from. Also walked around the Altstadt, shopping district.

Kieler Bier

Yum-Bratwurst!
We ate at the Kieler Brauhaus, so of course Daryl and I had to try a local Bier! Ben had a Bratwurst (of course), and Alex ate a Frikadelle, which is a very common German quick food- it's a bit like a burger patty, but tastes more like meatloaf. Anyhow, when I said "Good job, Alex, you ate your whole Frikadelle" it sounded like a bad word, so we got a good laugh out of that one!! You really do pronounce it just like "frick-a-della".
