 Opening doors and sending flowers are wonderful and much-appreciated gestures, but 21 minutes of a surprise #fireworks 🎆 show just outside of the bedroom window is something I can say is also greatly appreciated.

It’s the attention to detail for me 😍 21 everything, forever! https://v.nostr.build/pycR8McU94XlwE3m.mp4  
 the real princess treatment

 Haha exactly! I wish I had recorded the whole things because it was sooo pretty, but I suppose it’s good that I was caught in the moment enjoying it and the minute or so that I did catch was enough to look back that memory. 21 
 You could always write about the experience for the next newsletter to keep the memory alive :D 
 😬 
 on the food side at least, those pics were tast looking 
 But really I would not give the food wow reviews.  It was good, but IMO not worth any stars or any great reviews. It was plated beautifully though. 
 noted 
 Sometimes food is so pretty and the taste is good, but not like mind blowing. I like good quality and good presentation, but I need mind blowing tastes, in this case everything was good and I would eat there again because it’s conveniently in the castle, but I can’t hype up the taste. 
 But I can hype up the castle! It’s been one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever stayed in, literally like living in a museum 😍 
 I am open.  
 Okay, I have a few more weeks of travel, so maybe once I am settled and had proper sleep I can write something for you about the castle. 
 I'm about to fly there and eat okay castle food with you  
 😂🫂🏆 
 🏆 Haha come on over!

Food in Germany has never really wowed me, with one notable exception—their pretzels 🥨, which are absolute winners 🏆!

However, their typical fare—Schnitzel, Currywurst, Spätzle, Rouladen, Schweinshaxe (with Bratwurst, Sauerkraut, and Sauerbraten being slightly more tolerable)—doesn’t quite do it for me. I feel like this underwhelming experience often carries over into other dishes they try to create. That said, I’ve had a really good burger here in the castle, and I’ve been to some excellent steakhouses in Germany, but overall, their fine dining just doesn’t quite hit the mark for me personally. 
 Understandable. I used to be a membership manager for a private social club and one event we had schnitzel, i wasn't running home about it. I think I would rather go on a food tour in Japan, or other Asian countries.

In Europe, I would like to taste foods from Portugal, Spain, and Italy. Also in England, when I was vegan, I wanted to try a bunch of places out there. Maybe go to Ireland for their comfort dishes. 

Ok, maybe I want to travel every where lol  
 Wow that’s a cool job, but omg lol that’s funny about the schnitzel 😂! 

A food tour in Japan is an absolute must! It’s incredible how everything—not just the local cuisine but literally everything—is delicious in Japan! 🤤 Believe it or not, some of the best French meals I’ve ever had were in Japan, top 3:
	•	L’Osier
	•	Joël Robuchon
	•	Sézanne

In Europe, I love the local food in places like Spain, Italy, Russia Europe side), France, and Turkey (Europe side) but honestly, yeah a world tour for food is the best idea ever! 😂🏆🙏 
 Literally saved your restaurant choices, going to research them later!!  
 😍 
 It’s obvious you are a foodie so I’m 100% you will love these places I listed. 
 Pot and Pot was the best ever restaurant in Japan.  I think it's not there now. 
 Fun!! 🎆🎇🎆 
 Very exciting for sure! 🤩 
 Was it just for you? 
 Yes 
 Wow… anyway, after all, as said, you are a unique person… so very well deserved!

Whoever did it should love you so much! 🫂
