This Is a photographic view of our trip is To Germany in July 2015. It was such a great trip we wanted to to put this together. John and Kathy
This best viewed on an iPhone or iPad. I have not tried Android phones or other tablets. On an PC best if you size the window to be a rectangle like the phone.
This is a trip to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary. John does have to work the first week, which Is why we have, Matt DeLuca along with with us. Our romantic trip begins on Saturday, sorry Matt...you're outta here! Many thanks to Alexandra from Destincly Deutschland who has planned an amazing itenary. Everything is organized and scheduled according to our desires, not the way we usually travel, so this is going to be a hassle free adventure.

Adventure Begins
Travel Day (and night)
Just a short walk to the train station to visit Marienplatz and to see the Rathaus-Glockenspiel. Second construction dates from 1908. It has 43 bells and 32 life sized figures that reenact stories from the 16th century at certain times of the day. Although we didn't get a chance to see this as it was a Gay Pride Celebration festival on Saturday. That plaza was packed with all kinds people, what an incredible gathering. 🌈
Wow! People everywhere!
What an opportunity to practice Street Photography
Matt and John searched for an hour to find an elusive doner for lunch. Kathy had no patience for it, this spot looks good!
Made it through lunch only to find we have hit the wall and in serious need of a nap. Two hours and a shower later, it's back to the city center for some sight seeing.
Trip to the top of St. Peter's Church (Alten Peter)
