Mutscheltag

Well, my department at school recently celebrated a local tradition here in Reutlingen, which is the Mutscheltag. A Mutschel is the bread pictured here. It has 8 points on it, representing 8 different traditional jobs. Every year on Mutscheltag, people get together and play a special series of dice games to see who wins Mutschels.

And since this is a Schwabisch tradition, we drank Schwabenbrau beer. It's delicious. I didn't win anything until the end, but I walked away with 3 of the second biggest Mutschels!

Otto looks like he had a good time as well.
