Well, not food, because I barely dented an appetizer plate of potato wedges.  It is interesting and tasty to discover that the caipirinha has made it (with real cachaca, no less) big in Germany&#8230; the place we went to had a whole page of caipi drinks on the list.<\/p>\n<p>After dinner, we walked back along the tram route (quite a long haul) thanks to Alana&#8217;s navigation skills developed the last time she was here.  It was nice and breezy and offered the chance to sneak onto the grounds of some grand building and catch a nice view of the city&#8230; very pleasant walk, easily the trip&#8217;s highlight for me so far.<\/p>\n<p>Today we are headed for Pilnitz castle and Meissen, I believe, before another heart attack off the grill in the evening.<\/p>\n<p>Ecuador is playing a heck of a world cup if you haven&#8217;t been watching.
