After almost nine months my beloved wife and me once again returned to the fringe of civilization, Unterfranken, to visit my family. Once again we chose to set up our basecamp at the Papperla Pub in the Bahnhofstraße of Würzburg. From there, we travelled by automobile to the very border between Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg, where most of my family still lives within a 10 minutes walk of my grandparents.

Our visit was brief.

I feel no need to relate the misbehaviour and lack of culture certain members of my family displayed during my sister’s birthday party.

On the plus side: We finally got to meet my brother’s new girlfriend.
