Germany
My first day in Germany consisted of taking the train to Rudesheim to walk and stay awake. Veterans of the trip said if you don't stay up all day, you will never get your days and nights turned around enough to work.
Maybe I was tired, maybe it was airplane vertigo, but I hadn't been in Germany more than 4 hours and a few pictures before I fell face forward in the street bruising my knees, pulling a muscle in my arm, and damaging the D70 hanging around my neck. 4 nice Korean men pulled me up out of the street and after an exchange of "okay?" , "thank-you", "okay?", 'thank-you" we were on our way again, slowly.
In Cologne, I layed down in the plaza in order to get the entire dom in this picture (with my malfunctioning camera)
where I met these two guys who at first thought I needed assistance and then were tickeled that I was taking a picture.
My second trip went much better and by that I mean I did not fall! Two vacation days yeilded lots of pictures that I liked, too many to list here.
This one is after a brief rain:
and a view of Heidelberg
I used my gorrillapod to get this picture of Wiesbaden
and who can forget the world's largest cko cko clock ( I just realized I don't know how to spell it)
I love the half-timber houses, this one in downtown Mainz
and my first time seeing a castle was priceless.
I loved riding the train
and the views

I love Germany and it was the last place I expected to love so much when I was there for a brief hop last year (I am German by marriage

It was pretty funny, except for the hurting part. I decided that the camera kept me from busting the teeth out of my face and probably much cheaper to replace! I have become quite fond of Germany, even though honestly I only went because I had to for work. Some of my ancestors are German however I don't know much about them because they came to the states before there was paperwork. They must have kept handing down recipies because the "authentic bavarian meal" I had was quite similiar to dinner at my grandmother's house. Glad you enjoyed. I just saw that Andy has some great pictures of Germany on here somewhere. I am new to here so I don't know where I saw them.
Thanks !
nice shots!
