Sögel is a lovely rural community, with a small but cozy downtown, where our team was introduced to spaghetti ice cream. Delicious. You can get it in a bowl -- it's like soft serve - and it looks like noodles on the outside. Sehr gut!
The Söegel club kept us very busy during our stay with wonderful trips to their local businesses, a hybrid (water) windmill, old ruins, the chateau of an old prince, Meyer Werte where they build the huge cruise ships, and what we all decided was the highlight of the sight-seeing: The Netherlands! Thanks to the bad weather, we cancelled the canoeing, and took a trip to Bourting! Very neat little "fort" village!
But the best experience with the Söegel club was with out a doubt the BBQ with the Rotarians, their wives, and their younger children. It was so much fun to play with the children and see the family life.
We had such a wonderful stay in Söegel. And while many Germans (we found) did not know where Söegel was when we told them about it, we will never forget it, and will tell our friends and family about the little town with the blue sheep with fond memories.
(My special thanks to my wonderful hosts, Christopher and Imgrad... and Mattis!)
