An pictoral adventure shared by the following
travelers: Eugene & Tisama, Peg, Lisa & Ralph, Chuck &
Heide.
Most of this family group can trace their ancestral roots back to the
Fatherland, Germany. They came together from the far reaches of
the earth to share in and partake of the cultural, pictoral,
liboral, and gastranoral delights of the "Old Country".
(Please pardon my newly hatched words for harmony's sake. I hope
you get the picture.) Yes, they hail from Thailand,
California, Florida and Chicago and now Germany may never be the
same. After trespassing down numerous paths, roads and wrecking
vehicular havoc all over the beautiful German highway system, all
had to vacate quickly from the approaching floods. The world can
only hope that they will not have such an impact on the next place
they visit.
All the food and drink was fabulous with only a few minor quirks.
Americans accustomed to ice and iced beverages such as lemonade
and iced tea are out of luck. Forget your favorite mixed drink as
the Germans don't have many options for that. But you can savor
all the great beers and wines you could wish for at prices less
than a coke. German bartenders really have it easy.
The great scenery speaks for itself in all the pictures I took.
Nothing in the U.S. can compare with the storybook grandeur of
what makes Germany a world class destination. Germany enjoys a
standard of living that rivals any country and Europe as a whole
provides a safe and secure trip as any that one would enjoy back
home in the good ol' U.S. of A.
Many great memories have been made and the adventure was a huge
success. We were never lost and always knew exactly where we were,
although we didn't always agree on how to get to where we were
going. But, we were well equipped with the latest in GPS
technology and two-way radio communications. We also were loaned a
cell phone, known as a "Handy" in Germany. We could call ahead to
make hotel reservations without ever having to stop. We were
prepared and it really added to the enjoyment of the trip.
