Today’s program:
We did the “Walking Tour of Regensburg with Sausage Tasting” excursion, and you can just imagine the saucy banter among 40 gay men about tasting sausages.
And speaking of sausages, once again for some queer reason, most of the guys gravitated to one particular guide, Daniel Husband. He was a professional baseball player, and it showed.
Daniel and his massive biceps took us through the town:
There was a Dachshund Museum there, and Bob and I popped inside:
In Neupfarrplatz square, there were Stolpersteine or “stumbling stones,” which are memorial plaques embedded in the sidewalk to commemorate victims of the Nazis.
St. Stephens was in the center of town, and we stopped in it:
The last thing on the walking tour was a stop at The Sausage Kitchen, where we sat on the steps and Daniel collected our orders — ranging from all the way (mustard & kraut), to no mustard, to no kraut, to plain, to breadless — for a free sausage sandwich.
After the tour ended, Bob and I returned to a bakery that Daniel had said has his favorite pretzels in town, and we each got one.
Tonight’s entertainment on board was the Bavarian Brass Band, who played “oompah music” for us.
