Now we know where to go if we are ever in need of some "American" time. Ramstein Air Force Base is like a mini-America. We had Macaroni Grill and Chili's all in one weekend. Don't get me wrong, German food is amazing, but sometimes it's nice to have something from home that isn't McDonald's.
The PX there is like a mall, so we spent some time just walking around and feeling "American". I wish there was a New York and Company or Dick's, but it was still nice to have that mall feel. Justin bought some Oakley sunglasses, so at least one of us had something to show for our "mall" visit.
There was also a bizarre going on, so this made our trip even better. We grabbed a beer and walked around this German type market, all while still being on base. We bought a few German Christmas decorations (I can't wait to start decorating for Christmas) and a few bottles of wine. One of the vineyards that was selling wine was only a few minutes away from where we were, and it was tasty wine. We also bought a German porcelain cooking spoon holder, and it is beautiful (handmade and painted).
Overall, it was a fun weekend trip. And it was a beautiful drive. Plus, remember, on the Auto Bahn there is no speed limit ;) At times we were going a steady 100 miles per hour (which is about 160 kilometers per hour).
I'm looking forward to our next trip- OKTOBERFEST in Munich!
