  7. One of various renditions found throughout the city, the story of the Town Musicians, a quartet of a donkey, a dog, a cat, and a rooster, is told by the Brothers Grimm. Fearing for their lives, the animals flee their homeland to find freedom in Bremen. Die Bremer Stadtmusikanten (The Town Musicians of Bremen)

  15. Blockland: auf dem Land (in the country) • With a village-like setting of only 400 residents, the quiet farmland of Blockland along the Wümme River is one of the most popular places in all of Bremen because Germans love to take long walks or bicycle rides in the country.

  16. Cuisine Sampler • Most unique of Bremen dishes, Labskaus is an old sailor dish with mashed potatoes, corned beef, egg, onion, and beet root. • Served at Becks im Schnoor • Recipe: http://www.marions-kochbuch.de/rezept/0244.htm • We could eat at the Ratskeller, which has the largest selection of German wines in Germany, but let’s plan on Beck’s, and I mean plan.

  17. One last hurrah! • I have never wanted to be an urbanite, but for this city founded by Charlemagne, which has been a commercial, cultural, and scientific leader since its inception, I might reconsider.
