Weekend Holiday in Germany

Outside of Church

Inside of Church

I recently was able to take a short trip to Germany. I visited two of my previous students that I had taught when they were seniors in high school.  They are currently living in Germany, and they hadn't ever had anyone visit them and I had never seen Germany, so a trip north from the Land of Sand seemed like a grand idea!  They welcomed me into their home and showed me true southern hospitality, just like they had been taught to do back in East Texas.  I also was able to spend some time with their two beautiful, spunky girls, and they were truly little blessings!

Authentic German Restaurant

Pastries that are YUM-O!!

The food was very good!  I had a steak with peppercorn gravy on top, as well as, I tried some delectable pastries that I thought I would not be able to finish just based on the large portion but I as I bit into the tasty sensation, it was light and golden with a beautiful chocolatey creamy center.  Oh so good….Amazing!!  

Hiedelberg Castle

Although the visit was brief, I was able to see 3 different castles, beautiful yet all the while dreary countryside (due to the cold and rainy weather), and sample some of the local cuisine.  I hope that I will be able to go back one day with Clint and our boys!  I think that they will really enjoy all the history that I was able to see as well as the things that I did not get to see… PLUS, I want to go on a tour of the Hiedelberg castle!
