It's my birthday weekend!

I must have said, "it's my birthday weekend" one million times over the past 3 days. Yes, 3 because Friday was a training holiday, so Stephen was off work. Not fair, but the start of bday weekend! :) Saturday I went to Ladenberg with my friend, Elizabeth. It is about 10 minutes from post, a quaint little town. We shopped (found not a lot of anything) ate lunch, saw a wedding going on, and then stopped for fresh strawberries at a roadside stand (where the field they are picked from is just behind the stand!) and also stopped at a floh markt (flea market). We had a good time. Sunday Stephen and I drove to Frankfurt (about 30-40 minutes) for the closest thing we've had to REAL mexican food since we've lived here. It was very good!

Chimichangas and burritos and enchiladas!

Chips and salsa that they bring to your table for FREE! This is the first time we have encountered this in Europe.

Strawberry margarita! yum!
Here we are...happy with our choice!

This is the front window display. Do you see what I see??

Mexikanisches Restaurant, Rodeo Steakhaus! We will be back!

What do you see? Is that a white frog in the window?

It is the black can or cup or whatever with the American flags on it. It is a Stars and Stripes logo, the military newspaper (bringing hometown news to you wherever you are). :) clearly that place is frequented by Americans. SB found it on the internet, googled mexican restaurants germany or something.

We need a place like that in central Florida. The Mexican food here stinks unless we cook our own! Kind of sad that you can get better in Germany!
