Regensburg

This is a wonderful city! It is romantic and quirky, and has many interesting architectural features. For one, the oldest stone bridge in the world is here, truly a marvel in engineering. The Romans built it, complete with arches over the Danube. How they did it is a mystery to me!

Perhaps one of the most interesting things is that M's mother walked these very same streets. And visited the cathedral that is directly across our hotel room. And maybe ate at the sausage house that we are going to visit this afternoon.

The city has tower houses--very tall skinny things, and it has beautiful balconies and ancient old cobblestone streets. And it has chocolate, and coffee and all those good things!

But my time at the internet cafe is almost up, and we are heading to the town of Regen today, where M's mother was when she was a child.

That means we have to go on the autobahn. This makes M very happy. Me, not so much. He drives at the suggested speed of 120, most of the time, but then he is the slow man on the road, so he has gone as much as 160. Believe it or not, he still gets pushed and people just whizzzzz on by.

I just have to keep breathing.
