Stadtfest



Today we went to the Magdeburg "Stadtfest" the city festival. Unfortunately, it began to rain shortly after we arrived and my umbrella wouldn't stay up! I was able to get some good pictures of the city. I'll have to try later to get the photos up. It isn't working now.

Heute gehen wir zu Stadtfest von Magdeburg. Es regnet zu viel und wir mussen nach Hause gehen. Donner und Blitzen gehen euch nicht gut! Mein Regenschirm war kaputt. Schade. Ich könnte gute Fotos aufnehmen.

We tried some Schmaltzkuchen at the Stadtfest! Sehr lecker! It tastes like little bits of funnel cake.

They also had Quarkbaellchen, which is fried milk curd.

The rain began to pour!

There were a lot of stands with goods from Mexico, including ponchos for kids.

Oh, yes. And they had rides! Notice the Musikladen with Tina Turner and Rod Stewart painted on the front.

Here's a big candy stand. They had cookie hearts that read "Ich liebe dich." Ich liebe auch dich Kese.

Sabine told me these are two characters from a cartoon she watched as a child.

This is the "Grüne Zitadelle von Magdeburg," a creation of the artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser. The building houses shops, a hotel and kindergarten. It looks like candy and feels like Willy Wonka's factory!

Each one of the pillars is decorated differently.

The bricks painted against the pink make the building look like it's leaning!

One of the inner courtyards. The pillars outside of this cafe look like spun sugar! Lecker!

Opps, a blurry picture of another courtyard. It began to rain as I took this picture.
