I took a trip to Bonn with some friends of the fellowship (including my little best friend here) and we had a blast filling up giant bags with every variety of gummy you can imagine. If you ever get the chance to go to Bonn and want to stock up on cheap candy, I recommend going to the Haribo warehouse located near the orignal plant. The name "Haribo" comes from the first two letters of inventor's first and last names (Hans Riegel) being combined with where the candy was invented (Bonn).

| This traffic light was getting in our way! Do we have to wait until the light is green? |
 |
| Entrance to the original factory. |
 |
| Who is more excited? Me? |
 |
| Or her? |
 |
| Around the corner was the chocolate river. |
 |
| Thought these were super cute and creepily real-looking. |
 |
| The BEST flavor, no contest! |
 |
| A thank you note from Governor Schwarzenegger after Haribo sent him his likeness in gummy form. |
 |
| A famous gummy called "Arsch mit Ohren," which means "Ass with Ears." We definitely don't have those in the US. |
 |
| Candy and free rides in the same day! |
 |
| Mom and daughter in the kids section. Electronic games are the one thing that could distract a 5 year old from all of the candy. |
 |
| The rest of the day she insisted on carrying our Gummibär loot, eventhough it was waaaay too heavy for her. |
 |
| We also did some more mature sight-seeing and went to downtown Bonn. |
 |
| Found many Beethoven statues. |
 |
| And went to visit Beethoven's birthhouse, which currently holds a museum. |
 |
| On display we found little models of the birthhouse made by local students. We weren't allowed to take pictures inside so this is all you get. |

I am back from Bonn recently and am in love with this Great City. Overflowing Rhine or the Markt Platz in front of City hall gets etched in one's memory. You should have photographed Cassius's head at Minster Bonn.
