Germany: AgriTechnica

After a night's sleep (the quality was quite debatable) we were on the bus headed to Hannover for AgriTechnica.  Brent struggled more with the time change more than I did.  On the iPad, he watched them combine corn back home while I slept.  

We were completely blown away by the scope of this show.  It was 27 huge buildings, 122 acres of indoor displays!  We quickly felt like we were trying to eat an elephant.  We got started and never stopped the entire day.

I got a kick out of the lighting.  Now I imagine that car shows are all about the lights, but even here a combine or tractor looked pretty sexy.  It was fun to feel the excitement and realize that agriculture is universal.  

Brent and Richard enjoyed having each other to share in the excitement.

After a long day of walking, we had dinner at the Haufbrauhaus.  It is an iconic German restaurant chain.  The waiters and waitress wear lederhosen and dirndls.  There was live music including an accordion.

We enjoyed yummy brats, ham, potatoes, on a bed of cooked kale.
