Medieval Festival in Friedberg

Saturday took us off for our adventure back to Friedberg, where Elvis Presley lived between 1958-1960. There we enjoyed a medieval festival near the castle, partially surrounded by an old city wall. This castle was built 500 years before the pioneers trekked to Utah. It was fun to get away and just enjoy the music, crafts, and festivities.

 How the original city looked.

The city gate.

The greeter!

Crafts galore!

Love the way that families dress up for the event!

Some pitch their tents and stay for a few days.

This young woman was selling candies to earn money for her friends wedding. I bought a little Bounty bar.

Bob takes a peek outside the city wall.

German kids are very brave.

 Wow! Did you see that?

Don't be afraid! Come on in!

 

Creepy Bones!

 Scary guys holding up walls!

Bizarre pine cones.

Weapons!

Secret passageways!

Ancient old walls (notice the layers built from different eras).

Spooky old windows.

And the hanging crate!

Nothing beats the scariness of life more than eis!

This cute little puppy is unfazed. Love how he matches the sheep skins.

Last, but not least, the Bagpiper and drummer! These two guys travel around to a lot of the Medieval Festivals and perform.
