Heading Towards Fussen

It's Monday morning and we've had two full days in Rothenburg. After breakfast, we'll get back on the Romantic Road and head towards Fussen with a few city stops on the way. As you can see, we've had nothing but blue skies smiling at us. We can't expect it to continue, but we will take it as we get it. Traveling by car has been much simpler than I ever dreamed it would be . The GPS has definitely been a Godsend. Now, if we could only get David to watch the road instead of the map while cruising the autobahn. He's driving 160kph and getting passed as though we're standing still. I'll let y'all do the math on that one. We stopped at nearly every small town from Wurzburg to Rothenburg, on our trip here Saturday. Every single one was beautiful, perfectly manicured and flower laden. The pride these people have in their homes and shops is unmatchable. Rothenburg is a really quaint town with cobblestone streets and colorful old houses and shops. More pictures to come when I download them. Here are a few from Saturday morning. I know, I know...I'm a tad behind.

I found another knight in shining armor just in case we run into any "spitters" on this vacation! Any food pics you see are at Lucy's request (thanks for asking, Lucy!). I love food pics! This particular cafe didn't have apple strudel, so we had to go to plan b...the waiter's suggestion. Waffles, ooh la la! They were delicious.

Just a small country town we drove through that's not even on the map.

Ready for Take Off, Sort Of

Doing my best to get ready for our flight out in the morning, as the "Romantic Road" awaits us. But you know how that goes. I'm sitting here talking to you guys and looking for all sorts of excuses to avoid packing. That doesn't mean I'm not excited about the trip. Au contraire, I wish I could wiggle my nose Bewitched style and be there already. We should have a car (fingers crossed) waiting for us at the airport, GPS included. That just might be our saving grace to hold this marriage together during our travels. No pressure. The Germany weather is looking a bit dodgy with a little rain in the forecast and it's not going to be cold, but not hot, either. It's looking like one of those, how do I pack situations.Our first three nights are booked, but it's all spontaneous from there. We have a tentative route, but I've decided to clear my mind of it and just take it as it comes. Bottom line: we just have to end up back at our starting point come next Friday. You know the drill. I'll post pics as I can, Internet willing. Happy travels to the rest of our EID vacationers. Stay safe.

LuLu Light Show

Just thought I'd share a pic of our local LuLu Hypermarket.  David decided to take the highway last night to save a minute on our way home from Landmark.  Wrong, buddy.  You just bought yourself another fifteen minutes out and about.  I've been wanting to capture the night look that LuLu offers, so he had to loop around for me to get it.  The lights actually have a flowing effect that a still shot cannot capture.  Since the store opened during  Ramadan, I'm not sure if the special lighting is seasonal or permanent.  I love the look.  I vote they keep it.
