After seeing Neuschwanstein Castle and visiting Ulm, we stayed overnight at an Airbnb in Crailsheim. Our accommodation was a little Shepard carriage. This was also situated on site of a little farm. Now the reason I added this post was not because of the peculiar accommodations, or the quaint little area with the animals but … Continue reading Sunrise to Sunset

Memorial Neuer Börneplatz
The Neuer Börneplatz memorial in Frankfurt commemorates the Jewish community of Frankfurt that was destroyed in the Holocaust. I can't really do any justice in describing it, as I really had no idea of the full story of what I was photographing until I researched it later. I did a Google search and there are a couple … Continue reading Memorial Neuer Börneplatz

While in Cologne, I walked across the Hohenzollern Bridge. It is a rail and pedestrian bridge that crosses the Rhine River. It also has thousands of "love locks", where people have decorated or put a loved ones name on a lock and locked it to the bridge and then throw the key into the river. … Continue reading Hohenzollern Bridge
Rhine River Cruise
I went on a 4 hour cruise up the Rhine River which started in Mainz and ended in Koblenz. It could have been longer but it was the last day of the season so a few towns were skipped and another boat finished the route, so instead of taking a train to the next stop … Continue reading Rhine River Cruise
