Things have been interesting, as they always are with international travel. First,I apologize for grammatical mistakes because European keyboards are slightly different. Also, because our flight over left in the afternoon, when I was used to being awake, I got absolutely no sleep on the plane.
By the time we had obtained 2 vans and left the airport it was 9 AM local time and we hit the ground running per say. Monday was also interesting as it was a national religous holiday (Pentecost Monday). We walked around and got lunch before touring a palace and palace gardens. Things were very ornate and elaborate with incredible statues--the very sort of thing one would expect to find in Europe.
After having some free time (I needed to do some reading and thus did not get sleep) I found out however that a nice shower and movement can keep one awake though.
We had dinner at a restaurant with 28 cm pizzas for 5 Euros each (really good too). We had some free time afterwards and then finally around 10 went to bed, after being awake myself for 31 straight hours.
This morning we slept in and then went into Wuzbrug and toured the Mariennberg fortress before being given 2 hours for lunch and free time. After, we went into an old catholic church originally bult around 1100 (Wurzburg Dom) that had been bombed, along with 80% of Wurzburg during WWII. The interesting thing was that it had been rebuilt artistically and architectually as to move forward in time from the OT and the minorrah to the return of Christ, from simple to baroque from the 1600s.
Gruss Gott (God`s Grace as they say in this predominantly Catholic area of Southern Germany)
