Yesterday we drove from Wisconsin to Minnesota, our first time visiting these states. We are staying at
Bingham Hall Bed and Breakfast. Today we spent the day exploring
New Ulm settled by Germans and Bohemians. It is a small town that celebrates its origins with festivals throughout the year. Many of the shops and restaurants feature German items and food. We had a German meal last night. Today we visited Schell's Brewery owned and operated by the same German family since 1860. We had a tour of the brewery and a sampling of their various beers. Fern must have a little German heritage along with his French as he loves the German food and beer even more than I do.

We also visited the monument dedicated to
Hermann, a German hero. Hermann was my father's first name that had been passed down in his family and his name to passed on to my cousin Hermann in Erichshof, Germany and my brother as a middle name. We had no idea of the significance of the name.
