iklaus is celebrated on December 6th). I was assigned the task of decorating the Christmas tree at the Mayr family home, and happily did so, with gold, red, and silver balls, little chocolate liquior bottles, and straw angels and stars. I was happily surprised to find similar ornaments as those of my own family, like the old tin birds with metal clips attached so it looks like they are purched on the branches. Meanwhile I enjoyed some local white wine and attempted at carrying out a conversation in beginner's German and beginner's English.
Dinner was delicious: we ate salad with local pumkin seed oil dressing, a Bavarian radish dish, almond snow peas (my own concoction), followed by local potatoes, cheeses, sal
mon, and pork sausages that we each cooked on this nifty contraption called a raclette. Dessert was vanilla creme pudding with blood oranges. Klaus's parents and brother were very kind and fun, and the challenge of communication actualy made the night even better!
