Karl Ittig gave a demonstration of glass blowing. He was amazing and hilarious. Quite enjoyable. We talked to his grandchildren. 16 & 18. Eighth generation to the craft and the nicest kids I ever met.Weiterlesen

Tour of Regensburg
Reisender
Constructed in 1135 as a construction office for the Regensburg Stone Bridge. When the bridge was finished in 1146, it became a restaurant. It's the oldest takeout restaurant in the world. I got a sausage sandwich with kraut and mustard. It was fantastic !!

I used to go to the Ratskeller in State College before PSU games.

I wish someone would build a retirement community patterned after any of these German towns.

Basically, we went up and down the Inn river in a bar/boat. Then, we visited the charming town of Scharding, Austria
ReisenderI think the goal of the boat ride before the tour was to get us drunk.

Great town. Amazing Abbey.
Reisender
This is possibly the greatest cathedral we've ever been in. The frescoes, gold, and ornamentation were jawdropping. You are not permitted to take pictures in the Abbey. But Bob asked our guide. She said, "Hey, you're the last group. And I'm going through that door in two minutes. " I got a picture

Sailing from Melk to Krems
ReisenderIt is. I was sitting in the lounge, hoping to do some Bible study. Marco, our cruise director, kept announcing what we were seeing. And I just had to go to the deck and photograph!

Tour, dinner, and blessing by a monk
