Back in Germany... in Greenville

My plan was to go to downtown Greenville tonight.  Part of the attraction was to visit George Hincapie's store but when looking up directions I found it closes at 5pm.  With one less reason to fight traffic and decipher directions I decided not to go downtown.

When searching the web for restaurants near to my hotel I found a German restaurant, the Schwaben House (www.schwabenhouse.com).  It was less than 10 minutes down the road.

 The restaurant was in a plaza.

I ordered Sauerbraten (marinated roast beef) served with dumplings and a Weihenstephaner Hefeweizen.  Wow, the food was good.  It brought back memories of my week in Germany a couple years ago.  This makes sense because Schwaben is a district in Bavaria, Germany.  Part of my stay was also in Bavaria.

This is what followed a nice salad.

Tomorrow after work I'm planning to head over to Croft State Park to check out their mountain bike trails.  I think tonight's meal topped off my energy stores in prep for another ride.
