Dinner with Ludwig

King Ludwig's Castle

Today was a slow day.  I was pretty wiped put from yesterday, and by the time Andrea and I returned from Auchan to do some grocery shopping, I was not motivated to do a lot.  One cool thing I accomplished today was booking a weekend trip August 4-5 to check out the Normandy beaches of D Day.  We’re looking forward to that.  Other than that, the biggest thing I did today was dinner at King Ludwig’s Castle at the Disney Village.  Disney Village is the equivalent to Downtown Disney with the given assortment of resort-ish, hyper-themed restaurants and Disney stores.

Tonight we arbitrarily picked the castle since Jason decided to venture into uncharted territory and savor some bratwurst and sauerkraut.

Despite the extreme kitch, the food was quite good, and Jason enjoyed his new culinary adventure.

We did lament periodically that instead of taking in the glory of Paris at a sidewalk cafe, we were sitting with King Ludwig.  Sadly, Paris is quite a haul for dinner especially after Jason has been at work all day.  Luckily, we managed to find a great pub close to home that we’ll likely visit more in the future.  It’s literally the only thing that’s open after eleven in the area, if you don’t count the nightclub Hurricanes at Disney Village.  For the time being, the pub seems like a better option.  No set plans for tomorrow.  Maybe Provins, a medieval town, or a tour of champagne country.  We’ll shall see.
