Let the Travel begin

[Glass_A_Day]

Details huh? Alright. [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img] Well, the friend I went to see was a lady so yes it was hard to leave since she is now a bit more than a friend. Her return in a few months in greatly anticipated. She is a wine lover too so double trouble!! I arrived in the Frankfurt AM airport on Friday morning and the exploring began. We then proceeded to the town of Wuertzburg where she was stationed. The little wine shops downtown were an eye opener for me. Aside from the regular bottles from around the world they had all the local juice in large glass ball shaped bottles with taps on the front. From them you could take small empty bottles from the shelf below and fill up with whatever you wanted. This was true of local liquors as well. After a day of poking around and getting rested we jumped on Autobahn 7 South and in a few short hours were in the beautiful town of Bavarian town of Fussen in the Alps. There we spent the weekend exploring and shooting out in different directions. The castles and churches were absolutely breathtaking. Although it was cold, I found the light fluffy snow that coated all each night to make it almost a surreal experience each morning. I've seen some pictures of the mountains in the summer and they are just as amazing, but the little towns in the Alps in the winter just felt perfect. The ceilings in the various churches we visited were painted in a fashion that blew me away and the pictures I took simply don't do them justice. I have to tell you all, it's tough to be back. I even enjoyed the food and the little breweries in each town were tough to beat anywhere. ------News flash------ While writing this post my phone rang. It was friend from Germany who just this moment found out she is comming home the first week of April. So, the timing of GAD's trip was perfect and now I don't have to pine for the return of my new love interest. Things sure have turned around since my accident a month back!!!!
