Klassik am Berg

A very long time ago my mum and dad used to play music. Mum played the flute and dad played the tuba with an orchestra. We visited a practise of that orchestra - if you ask me it's too loud! On Thursday they played a concert in Erlangen, not inside a concert hall but outside on a bandstand. The area is called Der Berg which means mountain and it is sort of a hill. Inside the hill are a whole bunch of cellars. Mum told me they were originally for keeping drinks cool (especially beer), and when we walked past the cellar doors, we could feel a cool breeze. Today of course they have fridges, but in the olden days the breweries had ice cut in winter from ponds and stored it in icehouses or cellars for the summer so the beer wouldn't go off. Today the area around these cellars has tables and benches and there are rustic restaurants. Tizi and I went there with mum and dad who wanted to listen to the concert and just look in what they served our drinks!

Of courses we also need something to eat:
