Germany

I've been trying to get this post ready for about a week now.  I can't seem to find a way write it so you don't end up reading a novel.  Here it goes, short and sweet.

I recently had the opportunity to travel to Germany for work, for the second time.  I had an absolute blast.  The first time I went I had to travel alone.  This time I went with a  group of people, which meant we also did a little bit of site seeing every night after work.

I'll spare you all of the details.  We lucked out and had gorgeous weather every day - 70 and sunny.  We worked past 5 PM most days.  We ate some of the most amazing food and found a few new types of German beer that we liked.  Here are a few of the pictures from our evening travels.

The Sunday that we arrived we traveled to Heidelberg to visit the castle there.

This is the tram that we took up to the castle.

The view from the castle.

This is part of the castle that has collapsed over the years.  It split right down the middle.

This is another castle that we travelled to one night for dinner.  It has been turned into part restaurant part youth hostile.

Spaghetti ice cream that we found at a place called Fontanella's.  It was delicious.  

And of course, my beloved Paulaner.

I am lucky that my parents have instilled in me the love of traveling.  I enjoyed every minute of this trip, even when I had to work.
