The Cedar and That German Country: Day Three


Day 3:

We actually had some time to site-see today, hurrah! We saw a famous Bremen statue of a bird-on-a-cat-on-a-dog-on-a-donkey. We saw many other gorgeous Bremenese things, but that was the definitely the highlight.

Our gig was in a place called Oldenburg, in a venue called “The Polyester Club.” They let us play even though we weren’t wearing polyester, which was nice. We explained to the audience about the legendary German cake “Baumkuchen” about which Ben had seen a documentary and for which we were desperately searching. They kindly explained to us that it could be got at Aldi. Oh.

A tree cake? Did you buy and try one?

Oh, just wait, the saga of the Cedar's Baumkuchen search is a long, though victorious, one....
