Western Europe: Germany

Howdy folks! I know, I know....it's been awhile since I posted. I've been crazy busy these last 3 or 4 days, so allow me to give you the Reader's Digest version of what I've been doing.

Finished my tour of the Netherlands, which included Haarlem, Amsterdam, and Anhern. Haarlem is a mini version of Amsterdam, which I think has more character than the later. Anherm is a border town that had this really cool open air museum demonstrating early Dutch culture. At any rate, the Netherlands is definitely on high on my list of 'must see places in Europe'.

On July 3rd, we arrived in Bacharach, Germany, which is a very picturesque town in the Rhine valley. Words cannot describe how beautiful this area is. I was looking forward to Germany on this trip, and this town sealed the deal. Every quaint picture you've seen of Germany is embodied by the appearance of this town. Blissful...

Today, July 5th, we arrive in Rothenburg, Germany. Still quaint, but a bit more touristy. I spent most of the day sight seeing, and the evening was spent drinking lots of libations at a local carnival. Henceforth, I'm slightly polluted as I type this.

Ok, I've promised pictures in several of my last posts, but I've yet to encounter a computer that has an accessible USB connection for my camera. So, you'll just have to wait to see what Europe looks like through the eyes of Kapernicus!

Well, it's very late here, and I've got an early morning tomorrow. So, until next time....

Good times!!!!
