Germany typically brings to mind Octoberfest and Liederhosen, which is what you get down south in the Bavaria region. We're quite a ways north in the North Rhine-Westphalia region. There's a great deal of farming (Tons of sugar beets are grown around here. Quick: you win if you even know what a sugar beet is) with small town after small town popping up to connect the farmlands. We live right along the German/Dutch border and have found, so far, that we really do enjoy hanging out in Nederland.
Today we ventured to
Thorn. Follow the link and you'll find a lot of history about the town's church, which really is the main tourist thing to do in town, but the real reason to go to Thorn is to visit
De Pannekoeoenbakker, home of thin crepe-style pancakes, as big as your head, that come topped in over 400 combinations.
The boys and I were supposed to go with a group of moms on Thursday, but had to cancel to take the baby into see the doctor, so this afternoon we all went. There's a playground in the basement for the young ones, which gives mom plenty of time to drink her coffee. I think we'll be regulars! (Come and visit and we'll take you to try your own pancake.)
