Time to check out and pick up the rental car from Avis, for which we had made arrangements through Autoeurope. We dragged our bags a few blocks to the Marienplatz, stopping to watch the glockenspiel on the New City Hall do its rendition of the marriage party of a Bavarian king. We headed east in our Opel toward Bernbeuren ( http://www.bernbeuren.de/ ). I selected this town because a Germany tourism events page indicated that a "Maibaumaufstellen" or Maypole erection would be occurring there this year. Of the cities that I found hosting such an event, this one seemed the most scenic and "cute." The town's web page (http://www.bernbeuren.de)featured the town band, seemingly made up of most of the citizens of the town, in full dress.
