Beaches in Germany

Well, if you walk with 2 teenage boys to the beach here in Germany, can you guess what they ogle at and drool over? It is.......




........cars! We saw many cars that they loved on our walk there.














At the actual beach the things that struck me were the wicker baby carriage someone had there (at the beach!), the fact that here "boy shorts" are for both boys and girls while at home only girls wear them, that people eat with real dishes, silverware, and glasses on the beach, how most everyone has a volleyball that gets batted around, and that clothing is optional (but only if you're a child, it seems.)

Michael and I took another way home and realized we were in an upscale part of town. Here the yards are larger and the lawns are beautifully landscaped. Flowers bloomed profusely and we
were surrounded by hollyhocks, roses, clematis, butterfly bushes, apple trees, and more!

















We even saw a campground! (If you click [or double-click?] on any of the pictures in the blog you should be able to see them full-screen for better details.)
