Postcard Album: Germany

The card is of the Hotel Deutscher Kaiser in Nuremberg, Germany.

To go along with our history studies, we completed a geography lesson on modern Germany. We had received this post card from Germany, and it was quite remarkable that we actually got it

as it apparently got wet somewhere along it's travels and it had been written with a felt tip.

This is a good point to remember -it is best not to use felt tip to write on postcards -as I noticed that the postcard I sent to Thailand in which I used a felt tip was a little smudged as well.

As usual, we dined on an interesting dish which I had never had before, Spatzel, an egg noodle or dumpling used in the cuisine of southern Germany and Austria. It is a homemade noodle covered with cheese, fried onions and bacon.

It was different tasting, but Steven, who helped the boys make it, said that the recipe was a little hard to follow.

We colored in Germany on our map of Europe, and our world map.

This is our album page. My student wanted to put the flag as if it were hanging. The blank yellow spot is for the picture of the Spatzel as soon as I get color ink for the printer.
