Keeping Evan on my lap in church today seemed like a breeze. 11 hours on the plane back from Germany was a little bit harder.
Jon, Evan and I are back from our world adventures. As crazy Americans we saw 11 major cities and countless little ones in 14 days. It was great! Here’s a re-cap…..
Wittenberg has the doors Martin Luther nailed his thesis to.
Berlin still fresh from unification has countless treasures and surprises around each corner.
Dresden has done well after being flattened, rebuilding their Renaissance/Baroque buildings.
Prague has them all beat, one view of the castle at night and you’ll be hooked too.
Vienna still holds the title of best ice cream, and it will always have a special place in my heart.
Berchtesgaden and the Berchtesdadener Land will enchant any visitor - No wonder my parents have such fond memories there.
Hallstatt and the Salzkammergut give Berchtesgaden some competition. Peaceful and serene Hallstatt pulls in the visitor with paths along the lake.
Ramsau and the Koenigssee are a must. All of the little churches know how to bring in the crowds with the scenery.
Salzburg is a big city trying to keep its small charm and you can’t help singing (Sound of Music)
Fuessen is a stones throw from Neuschwanstein. How did I get stuck lugging Evan up and down the mountain?? It was worth it.
Rottenburg am Neckar still has its medieval walls. Were just happy to have found a place to stay, and the shopping wasn’t bad.
Essen home of Oma and the Kallenberg gang.
Visiting Oma and Tante Karin, Wolfram, Marcus, Daniela, Nico, and Sina - They are the true reason we flew all that way. And what fun we had being with them. Even through language barriers (Jon and Dustin don’t know much of the German) we all had a wonderful time, and are so glad we went.
