Some Strange Weekend Activities

Over the weekend the sun came out and the temperature was above freezing.  To celebrate the change in the weather, we decided to take a few long walks.  Walking and biking around town are typical weekend activities for German families.  The biergartens had a few tables out and were selling bratwurst and everyone seemed happy to see the sun.

Amidst the hundreds of people enjoying normal weekend activities like walking, biking and rollerblading, we also saw a few people who used the nice weather as a chance to do some more eccentric activities.

This dude decided it would be a nice day to practice tightrope walking.  In a park.  In front of all the passersby.  He was actually pretty decent.

We passed by a part of the river that was still frozen.  Though just barely.  The ice looked pretty thin...

But some people thought that going ice fishing on it was a good idea.  No one fell in... while we were watching...
