Day 124: Hahndorf (Day 2)

Today we spent the day in the German village of Hahndorf. Olivia and I headed into town in the morning to wander through the shops, eat pretzels, check out the old buildings, learn about the German history of the area in the museum, listen to two different accordion bands playing outside pubs, and even pat a horse. The boys joined us after lunch to go on the mini guinea pig tour - this was the first week that it was partially open (the grand opening is next weekend). They have created a miniature village of Hahndorf's main buildings for the guinea pigs to run around in. It will be very cute once they have it all set up. We all got to pet the guinea pigs and those that wanted to could hold them. We spent the afternoon having a bit more of a wander through the village - including a stop at the German souvenir shop, which had cuckoo clocks, lots of Christmas decorations, toy accordions, and so much more.

In the afternoon we once again hung around camp - playing chess, reading books, and playing with yo-yos. In the evening we got new neighbours that had a dog named Theo. He liked to sit next to Olivia while we did our nightly New York Times puzzles.
