Take all the worn clichés (the good ones) and multiply them by a billion and you might come close to understanding how nice this place is!! THIS is what people come to Europe for!!
Just amazing! Impossibly charming; our heads were on swivels all day. Yes, it's a little over the top, yes it's a little "too perfect", and yes by default it's crazy-touristy but so what! It's magnificent! It was a great day!
None of my iPod pictures can do it justice, you'll have to wait for the "official Picasa pictures" but here are a few anyway.
I hope to come back someday (in a few years).
Tonight, we're meeting up with our Chicago-Friends who are also on vacation in Germany. It'll be fun to see them again!
Glad you liked it - and surprised it's your first time in all those trips to Europe! Too bad it was so gloomy that day. There's so much complaining about it on the Rick Steves Helpline, especially from the expats who live in Germany. But let's face it. It's worth the visit. I hope you had a chance to walk the wall for a bit.
