Morning in Frankenmuth

The last stop on our trip was in Frankenmuth, Michigan, a town with very deep German roots. We started off our day there with a pretzel making class at the Bavarian Inn. Originally it was scheduled to be a strudel making class, but they didn’t have enough instructors to help us – apparently strudel requires more assistance than pretzels. We each started off with a ball of dough that was already made up. Next step was rolling it out into a snake, and then we made it into a U, which is pictured here.

While our pretzels were baking we had time to spend at the River Place shops nearby. I could not for the life of me figure out how I was going to get the few things I’d already bought in my suitcase to come home, so I mostly just looked around. I did love the fairy garden that was outside the Enchanted Forest shop.
