Freising, Germany is a small town that was close to the place where we had set up our medieval training encampment.  These towers and red roofs were typical of the towns in this Bavarian area. After a good nights sleep we explored Freising. In the town of Freising there was was an open market where many fresh foods items as well as flowers could be purchased.  We enjoyed stopping for a spot of breakfast at a sidewalk cafe while making our plans for the days events and travels.

We arrived at dusk so trying to set the tents up was going to seem near impossible. Our tent was a small typical American dome tent that went up easy. However Stacy and Lloyd had a more traditional renaissance style tent with the big heavy wooden poles and had it not been for Brian's magic candle (Flashlight) we would have had to wait until morning to pitch it.  The camp dancers has their bard music in the back ground as I heard the phrase "nuggets" more than once as we toiled to get things ready. Sleep came easy this first night. Everything felt right with me or I was just too tired to notice anything that wasn't right.

This is me the next morning in one of two costumes I had sewn prior to my arrival in Germany.

This is Lloyd, my son in law. Stacy and he live in Germany and have made many friends in this medieval world. Stacy publishes their newsletter and sews clothing for this period dress.  Lloyd likes to participate in fighting while Stacy encourages him from the sides.

This is the queen for the Encampment.

She was very friendly and participated in many of the events herself.  It really surprised me in regards to her archery skills.
