Easter in Germany is different than in North America. Somehow it takes on a greater importance in everyone's lives because you get Friday and Monday off. There are Easter markets; eggs adorning trees and fountains in town squares. Wild white, yellow and purple crocus growing along the roads and under trees are replaced by tulips. Spring comes earlier here on the Bergstrasse where we now live.
Yesterday we took a pre-Easter drive through the Odenwald to find an Easter market in Ober-Ostern (Upper Easter). When we arrived, the very small Easter market was coming to an end but we were able to see an Easter bunny that was placed in the Guinness Book of World Records in 1998 and buy a crepe. In any case, it was a beautiful drive.
