Irish Day in a German Town


Our full day here in Fredericksburg was spent doing a little shopping and a lot of museum visiting.  The WWII Pacific War Museum here in the birthplace of Adm. Chester Nimitz is world class, and takes several hours to see just the highlights, but is truly a wonderful museum with a tremendous amount of artifacts and displays. 


In between we celebrated St. Paddy's Day in this German town by eating German food instead of corned beef.  But yes, we had the cabbage (or in our case sauerkraut.). Followed, of course by a stroll through several art galleries and shops where we almost managed to not buy anything, but ultimately failed in that regard.

  1. I had heard that particular museum was very interesting. We didn't have time to view it when we were there. Love Fredricksburg - such a pretty town. We ate at the restaurant/bakery for breakfast and then the german restaurant for dinner. Good food and tasty pastries. Sounds likey'all are having a great time. Pictures of the new art?
