Bob’s Sabbatical
Days 25 & 26, September 23-4, 2009
After
checking out of hotel, Susan and Sarah make a quick shopping trip into Murnau
before we head toward Heidelberg. Thank
goodness for GPS. Again, more farms,
cutting hay and silage. Wood piles for
winter are most impressive. Many of the
farm houses are actually part of, or connected to barns. 2nd floor porches have cutouts of
various designs. Stop in Rothenberg ob
der Tauber, an old walled city. Nice
lunch, then on to Heidelberg. Slow
going, with lots of road work. On the
way we realize our reservations are for the wrong two nights – hope they have
room for us tonight! They do, even if
they face a side street, which will be very loud during the festival this
weekend. Christopher arrives, and we end
up with Italian dinner.
The next
morning I go for early coffee run, while others sleep. Flea-market already in street in front of
hotel, and up the street vendors of all sorts setting up for Heidelberg Herbst
festival – brats are cooking and beer already flowing. That’s where we have lunch. Not sure what we’ll do for dinner. Head to Rhine river tomorrow.
Peace,
Bob
