The market truck.

6 Thoughts I Had at the Schweinfurt Fish Market.

1. Is this just an excuse to have another festival?

Probably.

2. Wait a minute, this might be an excuse to sit outside and drink lots of beer.

That’s more likely.

3. Why is there a giant pirate ship?

The pirate ship bar.

I don’t know.  But they serve beer.

4. Is that Linkin Park that I hear blasting?

The rides.

Yes, and it’s coming from the merri-go-round…

5. Can I ride this??

The swings.

YES!!!  I can and I did and it was awesome.  Mr. Meena might not agree though, it made him sick.

6. Why is this man yelling at everybody?

The market truck.

He was selling bags and baskets of various items, mostly fruit, but every once in a while he stopped and yelled and hit the top of his truck with an empty box.  Since I couldn’t understand him, I didn’t really know what to make of it.

There isn’t much else to say about the market.  There were a few booths selling fish and I think the whole thing was inspired by the well-known Hamburg fish market.  The big truck even had ‘Fischmarkt Hamburg’ on it.

It’s just another one of those quirky things you learn to love when you live in small-town Germany.
