Well, the strike and fuel blockade situation in France is only getting worse, so we have now committed to skipping it altogether and are heading the other way, deeper into Germany. It's sad, as there are a lot of wonderful things to see in France, but it's hard to be too sad since we will spend more time in Germany and Austria, which are also fabulous. We're still working on the new itinerary, but it looks like we'll basically stop in a couple cities in Bavaria and Austria over the next week, then end up in Switzerland as planned before parting ways.
More Deliciousness in Mainz
Before leaving Mainz, we had lunch at the restaurant we enjoyed so much for dinner the night before (see last post). We sat upstairs this time, but ended up having the same great waitress. She recognized us and teased us good-naturedly, warning us that she was off tomorrow but would be back the next day! We had another seriously awesome meal - other German restaurants on our trip will have a lot to live up to!
