We followed a Detmold city guide dressed as a minstrel from the Middle Ages. As he explained the city's history, he had us play historical figures, complete with capes, hats, and even some swords. Jason was a multitalented farmer and later a knight, Trudy played the tambourine, Amy was a cook, Sherry a fair maiden and Tracey a milkmaid. Our host Gunther Koch was a merchant and Barbara played a princess. It was lots of fun even though we got a few quizzical looks.
Later that afternoon, we went to see the statue of Herman the German, who defeated the Roman army. The statue was erected to celebrate Gemany's defeat of Napolean in the 1800s. The weather was beautiful and we had a clear but windy view from the top of the monument. Later that evening we joined friends for a tasty meal of herring with various sauces followed by an assortment of schnapps.
