I convinced Rachel to go with me to a not too far away distant land! Yay! We only needed to take one of our local trams if that helps, although it was about 30 minutes. Anyhow, we hop on a bus, get to the Hbf hop on a 4 and ride it to Oggersheim, at where it turned around. We were both confused so we hopped off the tram, looked at a schedule, and saw that only one tram an hour travels to Bad Dürkheim, which wasn't the one we were on. We had about 30 minutes to kill so we wandered through a little park and then were hungry so we bought some things in the near by Netto Markt.
(The park - Antholes in the park, already - Mini Amerikaner treat, "Mini Americans".)
Rachel bought some Bananenschnitt or something along those lines, but I liked the Mini Amerikaners more because I could make so many jokes with them. She said she was going to steal them, and I said she's not allowed to be a kid-napper, and they went on. They tasted like donut cookies, to be honest.
After our fun, we finally caught the appropriate tram to get there. It was fairly uneventful aside from seeing a lot of this:
(I wasn't sure if these were grape vines or something, turns out they are. - The fountain in the middle of the town. - Another fountain with the hills in the background.)
(As we were walking toward the more exciting area of things to do, we wandered passed this entrance way. I have no idea what it is or where it goes to. We couldn't get any closer because of fences and barbed wire, unfortunately. - This is a little chapel on top of the hill, surrounded by tons of wine. When I say small, I mean, small. Rachel put it as, "I could lay down one and a half times in it". - I'm not totally sure what it is, but it's constantly dripping water over what looks like dead plants.)
(World's Largest Wine Barrel, 1.700.000 L, now a restaurant. - I though this Stein/ Krug was cool looking. - On top of the previously pictured hill. I had to go up it.)
(I saw the cliff and couldn't help myself - Rachel followed suit - Picture from on top of the hill)
(Naturally, I needed to find and enter the local Gothic Church, unfortunately we were too late. Therefore, it was time to play on the playground in the meantime.)
It started to drizzle a little and we decided to call it a quits and went home. Fortunately, we caught a tram with a few minutes to spare. On the way back, I noticed the girl across from me had something very strange in her mouth... a piercing. It was a ring that went through the little flap of skin that connects your gums to your upper-lip area so it would hang down just enough to be visible when she talked or smiled... strange.
(Next time I go to Bad Dürkheim, I'm going to that white speck on the hill, I've decided.)
