Over the pond gathering
« Reply #-1 on: December 17, 2013, 07:13:55 AM »
It was a great pleasure getting to meet WC.  Here are some of the pictures taken from the gathering.  Wished I would have taken more but was having fun and would forget to pull the camera out. 

Beautiful drive.  A little foggy so couldn't take it all in but still beautiful.  Lots of vineyards around here. 


WC and his toys.  That wood fire pizza oven looks like fun. 


and new toys


Roman amphitheater in Treir. 


Ok time for lunch

and WC


the robe said to have been worn by Jesus during or shortly before his crucifixion.  Not shown but say say it is in there. 




then to a xmas market.  It was crazy.






then into the town where WC works.  Beautiful!




We need a drink




Dinner was good.  4 course meal and all the wine you could want.  Forgot about pictures until the last main course.  stuffed.  think my fav was the bone marrow meat ball soup. very good. 


Time to go back to work :(  It was a great trip and now I have a new friend in a different land.

That was a really fantastic day and for me a great pleasure to meet fishingbouchman, too.

After looking that last pic, I'm glad that the view had cleared up the next day. It's one of the most beautiful views in our region.

Fantastic!  Just think how many friends we make because of our mutual love of cooking.  We are so blessed and fortunate.  I wouldn't trade any of y'all for a speckled puppy.  Dee

If we had that many cooking toys Pappy our wives would blow our savings at the Mall of America. :(

This why you have separate bank accounts, and a paypal account ;D
