Day 6 – Oh the hiking…

Now that we have wifi – albeit, not great so I’m pretty sure we won’t be able to post any pictures :(, let’s talk about yesterday… Our last full day in Germany consisted of driving on the Romantic Road (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romantic_Road) and stopping at the Neuschwanstein Castle. This is the castle that inspired Walt Disney’s Cinderella castle […]

Exhaustion beyond words….

Kevin officially wore me out today with our ridiculous amount of hiking, and since we are just getting back to the hotel still needing to pack to catch our train tomorrow, I will not be posting about the day.  I’m hoping we have wifi on the train, and I’ll be able to post it first […]

Day 5 — Inside the Walled City

Today we spent the day exploring inside the walled city of Rothenberg ob der Tauber. Our first stop was to walk along the wall above the city which was quite picturesque and where we made our first friends. As we were walking past, a German couple asked us to take their picture. They were celebrating […]

Day 4: The Black Forest

Day 3 — Have you ever met a monkey?

We had a bit of a late start today as we were quite exhausted from our very, very long day yesterday, but we had plenty to keep us busy.  To start the day off right, Miss Graceful fell on her butt walking down the stairs of our hotel, and ended up as a turtle on […]

Day 2 — Pictures =)

Now that we finally have decent internet, we can post more pictures! Caption: The beautiful Rhine River (Germany) Caption: This is the road we (as in Kevin) drove to get down to the Rhine.  Very windy and appears to be a one way…wrong. (Germany) Caption: Eltz Castle – A bit of a hike but worth it. […]

Two countries down…

Since we have been up for 32 hours straight this is gonna be a short one as the first one usually is. For those that may not know, the trick to beating jet leg is to deprive yourself of sleep. Kidding but not really. We landed here at 11p cst but it was 6a Germany […]

Spontaneous Road Trip

Wednesday night a spontaneous trip was born… less than 10 hours to the ocean? Challenge accepted! Bright and early Saturday we finished our long trek arriving in Mobile, AL around noon. First stop… USS Alabama, a warship used during WWII which seemed quite a fitting way to kick off the patriotic weekend ahead. We were […]
