Braunfels

Day Eight
"Movng Day." Once again we had breakfast in the hotel. Once again it was wonderful.
Today is a serendipity day. Kimberly was told about a walled-city fortress that has Texas ties. We are going to make the 3 hour drive, about an hour north of Frankfurt to the city of Braunfels. We were in and out of both rain and road work. But finally saw the silhouette on the horizon. We were a little pumped, even though intermittent rain showers persisted.
For a Saturday, i was surprised there weren't any tour busses ariving and departing. It was very cool and raining, so we skipped the 9 Euro entry fee and looked for different vantage points to see the city. A lady at the souvenir shop gave some ideas and we left on a new adventure. First stop was on a golf course on an adjacent hill top. That one didn't pan out as they did not want us on the course. No problem. We understood.
We set out looking for overlooks and our perseverance paid off. I hope you like the photos.
We turned our car in and had a quiet dinner at the hotel. Another wonderful day.Read more
