... because I could not use a flash, except when I was sure no one was looking). This was the first astounding example of German Romanesque architecture (with touches of Gothic design) we are going to see. This Cathedral was completed during the late 12th century, with a few additions during the following two centuries. It is magnificent, and my photos do not do it justice in the slightest. The vaulted ceilings peak at over 120 feet, and much of the stonework is ...

... to me, switching to English when she figured my smile and nodding for what it was, said she'd lived there for 50 years but loved that magical moments like that still came around.

I left the magical moment up top and ventured to a drearier place, the Studeten Karzen. To boil it down, students who acted up were locked away in five upper rooms with no kitchen or running water for a few weeks. Looks as ...

After a 2 hour flight I was dumbfounded to find out that there is no shuttle to Darmstadt from Hann airport. I waited an hour at the airport for the 2 1/2 hour shuttle to the Frankfurt train station where I boarded a train for Darmstadt. At Darmstadt, I had about 3 minutes to traverse the ...

(check out his site, http://www.ThemeParkReview.com). He had mentioned to me months ago that our travel itinerary goes right by one of Europe's largest theme parks- Holiday Park, I believe it is called. I initially ignored this tidbit, because hey, we're going ...

... headed Ludwigshaven for the night. The hotel was pretty good, the pillows VERY European and flattish, so we got another one each. Dan spent most of the night sorting through photos and moving them onto the external hardrive. I stumbled across Miss Universe pagent on tv and watched that..even with the dubbing over in German, I could hear the english first and that was great :) After that I watched another movie called Femme Fatal with Antonio Banderas...it was ...

... Vorgeschlagene Malariaprophylaxe: Malarone. Kostet für die ganze Reise schlappe 580,-EUR.
