Oberursel Street Life in May 2021

With restrictions still in place for regular shops (shopping only by click-and-collect), we took advantage of a partly cloudy day to get out and buy some street food in downtown Oberursel about two weeks ago. The month of May was full of rainy days.

During some sunny and dry moments, I took these photos in the Strackgasse near the Marktplatz. This Pig Master with its mask on is keeping guard at the door as only three customers can be present in the shop at any time.

Further up the Strackgasse – what I thought to be a toad in stone actually looked like more like a drunk man heading home on all fours upon closer inspection. I had to get down on my knees as well. Interesting door step decoration.

We enjoyed our snack sitting by the fountain facing the church. Halfway through though, the heavens opened their gates.

An October Afternoon in Eguisheim, Alsace

The market square is the town’s jewel. Everyone nearing the square either stops in his tracks or gets out his smart phone.

In the photo (right side) you see a pizzeria. Next to it is a meat shop and I had the most wonderful lunch from there: turkey with mushrooms and noodles in a delicious gravy. They packed it to go, and I had it right outside the shop, where they have tables to stand and eat. Tip: Try the meat shop for their lunch special!

Bus loads of tourists usually walk this way around the periphery of Eguisheim. In early October, they still had a few outdoor vendors along that walk for this kind of tourism.

No. 77 got a complete makeover and No. 79 is still waiting.
