So inside some of the buildings are different exhibitions. I mean I guess you can't call yourself a museum without exhibitions, right? Anyway, I wasn't going to post these, as they are behind glass and hard to get a good picture - but I can't convey the experience without including them either! My favorite one … Continue reading Hessenpark – Exibitions
These 3 churches that are in the park are from different eras but silly me forgot to at least write down the information about them. I wasn't thinking about this blog at the time, sorry! Enjoy the pictures though.

One more post from my Neuschwanstein Castle Trip. These are mostly just more shots walking up to the castle, but the main theme for this post is Marienbrücke (Mary’s Bridge, aka Pöllat Bridge).

Hey I just learned how to pronounce it correctly while doing my background digging for this post! It also was an inspiration for Walt Disney to build Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland. It is surrounded by the most beautiful country, and I … Continue reading Neuschwanstein Castle
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

Frankenstein's Castle When Jessica told me to start looking for things to see while I was in Germany I came across Frankenstein's Castle.

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.
