We just popped down to our local watering hole “Credo”. Literally, steps from our home, and I realized they are super crazy for “Holunder” - which are Elderberries - there:

For those of you not speaking the German tongue, the drinks are, in order:

Elderberry Spritzer

Hot Elderberry

Beer with a dash of Elderberry

and the ever famous Elderberry Hot Wine!

BTW: the waitress asked Jamie if she was from America, and if I was from France. I am going to take this as a compliment on how Juanty I am. Gilles, I am going to overtake your Jaunty-ness, you’ll see.

Before we left we had many goodbyes to say. All pretty sad when you have to leave good friends behind. This goodbye mini-party consisted of Daria, Gilles, Lisa and us. Gilles got his best Euro-face on to hold back the tears. Sniff.
