The Trails We Blaze

Amusement parks in Germany are slim to none. Water parks, however, are another story. I present to you...

Fildorado!

Halfway through our stay at the water park did I realized that Fildorado was a play on words with El Dorado, the supposed lost city of gold. This just led to thinking of The Road to El Dorado and singing Disney songs and the rest of the day with Phil Collins stuck in my head. Who hasn't been there?

Uplifting Disney melodies aside, it was a pretty awesome trip. The water slides were timed leading to many a race, there was a wave pool, and a quite possibly the very first three person chicken in Germany. Jared, Nick and I wowed youngsters with our ability to stand three high on each others shoulders. I think we started a trend.
Oh right. So Jared. He is my cousin who randomly popped up to visit from Italy as the rest of my family left. Surprise! He walked into Abele's with his mongo-army bag and Mom introduced him with a warm, "Look what we found!" Sonja just stared at her, trying to figure out who exactly the 'what' was and slowly said, "I don't believe you just found this person." Two thumbs up for German hospitality.

All the family is gone now, leaving face-palmingly large piles of homework and no excuse to procrastinate by going to water parks. Bummer.
