The Germans have a sign for everything. And I mean everything! Here is one of the more amusing ones:
We ate at a Mexican restaurant tonight. This was an experience!
I need to back up a little. First off, everything you ever order at any restaurant is charged to your bill. I mean everything. I have tried to order a tap water before only to be given bottled water instead with a short "sorry we don't serve tap water" reply before hurrying off. Of course the bottled water was nicely opened for me and put into a glass with the leftover still in the bottle. This has gotten annoying as I'd really just like a tall glass of water with ice and "no gas". (Do not just order water, as they will give you carbonated water--no ice). So, that's 2+Euro easily (times 2 for Jer). Plus, there is a 19% tax included in everything you buy in Germany (not on base). That is some seriously expensive water! And no, it is not magic water. And where's my ice?!! Now, if you get a cola instead, there are no refills. So, this is really the only thing that has upgraded from inconvenient to irritating.
On a happier note, at least the price advertised is including tax, not added after like we do in the States. I think the Germans have a better idea.
Back from my digression, we ate at Cantina Mexicana tonight in Einsiedlerhof.

Sounds like you're having tons of fun. Great pictures too. I especially like the child seat strapped to the back of the orange bike!
