Andrea Brown commented on Day 21: Hoexter to Hann. Munden

Then there is the odious "Munchhausen by proxy" disorder where a parent will injure or cause illness in their child in order to gain attention, sympathy, or money.

Yes, you are correct. Baron Munchhausen was known for his extreme embellishments of his deeds and accomplishments. Patients with Munchhausen Syndrome embellish their physical symptoms and believe that those symptoms indicate serious disease, despite medical evidence to the contrary.

Attractive, but maybe less interesting than you’d think. Built in 1909 by the merchant Herman Schmieding as a present for his wife. it was modeled after an authentically older house that she admired.

Very true. Disney sanitized the stories to make them culture and child friendly. The originals were intended to scare the s**t out of children who might even be considering misbehaviour.

The frog prince was one of the first stories I translated for German class in high school. It is, like all Grimm’s fairy tails, absolutely bizarre. The Disney versions are quite tamed down compared to the original stories. I have read some of them both in english and German, but I’ve never made it through all of them. They are just too bizarrely disturbing. I think the intention was to scare kids into behaving.

It is lovely reading about your adventures. I hear your voice (or at least what I remember as your voice) when I am reading. Thanks for sharing. I still can't get Julie Andrews song out of my head but, I do love the idea of looking for favorite thins each day!

What I liked best about Hamlin was the little brass rats set in the cobbles in the Main Street
I think the Grimm Radweg if it were to exist would be between Hamlin and Hanau (where they were born). All along the way there are reminders of their work. Tomorrow don’t forget to look across the river at Polle where you can see the castle where Cinderella went to the ball

The Elbe was kind of a food desert. Oh, you can be sure that each and every eis over 90 days will be mentioned. What could be more important?!

Your first Eis on day 17? Is that a record? At least I think it’s the first you’ve mentioned.

I can't imagine that such a quantity of broad beans are consumed here.

They are actually Le Creuset, a high-end French brand.

Beans yes - but Broad Beans (Fava) has a lot of votes.

I think that crop must be soy beans.

Not poison ivy since we don't have that here. Hope you have some sort of salve for it, or will pick some up at an apotheke. It looks uncomfortable.
