Some traditions are simply too odd to pass up. This morning, Noah and I headed out to enjoy a quick round of Eiertütschen. Strangers gather in front of the Kornhaus cafe with (sometimes) dozens of hard boiled eggs and challenge each other to rounds of "smash the egg." More of a social event really. You start out with the "sharp" end of the egg, then if neither egg is broken, you continue on to the "fat" end. Small taps on each end. The "winner" takes the broken egg. I haven't decided if its really winning though. Some people bring bottles of prosecco and small picnics and enjoy an hour or so of fun with strangers.Other than that, the town was d..e..a..d ... dead ... dead. It was fun to walk down the middle of the streets and play choo-choo on the tram tracks though. Managed to get in a quick "I'm too shy" shot though.
