Thanks for the pictures Tom. You’re making me want to come back to beautiful Germany. As you know I’ve spent a lot of time there in all parts of the country. The schnapps remind me of going out with friends there, always ending the evening with a round of schnapps, and often also snuff with the schnapps. As I recall you put the snuff on the back of one hand and the glass of schnapps in the other hand. Drink the schnapps and then snort up the snuff from the other hand. :lol: I can’t remember the reason for this tradition?

Please give me ten min. to get all the pictures posted. Hope you enjoy the pictures & thanks for looking. ::nod::

Very nice Tom.
