Several years ago I took a trip to Germany with my now ex hubby, we toured Europe for a month, some of the places were visited included Heidelberg, Wurzburg, Mainz and another part I can't remember where a German friend of mine lived at the time. I absolutely loved it over there. I think my heart is still in Heidelberg, it was the second time I had been there, once with my parents on a tour when I was much younger, but you know how tours are, rush rush rush, so I really didn't even remember being there, to me it was all so new. I remember going to an organ concert at the main church in the center of Heidelberg, if anyone takes a vacation there, that is not to be missed, such a beautiful sound from that organ. We also took a ride down the Neckar River, waited through the locks in the water, I'd never seen anything like that first hand before, a new experience for me. My German friend Angela took us to Mainz and we rode the cable car up to the monument that is there, that was really nice. I'm not much for things having to do with being up high, but....it was worth it for the views. Back in Munich we attended the Oktoberfest, we went in the Pauliner building, neither of us are drinkers so the beer was a bit strong for me needless to say lol. I'm glad I got to experience Oktoberfest, it was quite exciting. The oompah band was playing American country music, go figure lol. We also visited King Ludwigs castle, took a tour to that and stopped off at another castle on the way as well. What a hike it was to that castle, oh my gosh lol. I didn't have a walking stick but wished I had lol. Such a beautiful country, I hold it close to my heart. I guess that is the German in me.:-)
