The sun came out today after MANY days of rain and Ladenburg once again came to life. This weekend is the fishing clubs festival, they have a nice tent along the Neckar river where later today and through Monday they will be having a "fish-fry". Should be a nice time if this beautiful weather holds.

Also today the Drachenboot, similar to a crew boat, but with a Viking twist, were out practicing for the up coming race. From what I saw last year, it seems other villages compete here in Ladenburg against our "home" team. Then later in the day they have a nice festival on our little beach. You can hear the beat of the drums counting the pace for weeks before the event as they practice.
