Although the weather changed from scorching hot to cool, cloudy and drizzly, we did NOT have a rotten time in Rottenburg.
To the contrary, we enjoyed the blending of families, cultures, ideas . . . . and laughter. Lots of laughter and late nights --- which is why I got behind in my daily postcards. Just like our friends Peter and Virginia in Vienna, we only spent a short amount of time with Walter and Reinhilde about a year ago, yet quickly developed a friendship that has culminated in an epic tour of Austria, Germany and Switzerland. It is amazing how similar --- and FUN --- both couples are!!!
As in Vienna, we were treated to a bird's eye view of Rottenburg . . . . . (No extra charge for the rainbow which we saw two days in a row)
We enjoyed incredible hospitality and food . . . . . including Walter's favorite German meal, maultaschen.
Jakob's birthday
A romantic village (and a church) in the Black Forrest
A burg called Tubingen:
Laura (Jakob's sister) and Rachel acted like twins that were separated at birth. They were inseparable and spent every night talking until the wee hours of morning. Laura leaves in August for Utah where she will be an exchange student for 6 months. As expected, Rachel and Laura are already scheming on how to get together again in the U.S.
