we’ve been around the primary tourist traps in the area over the weekend, playing tour guide to a visiting friend from vienna. i didn’t imagine it would be fun, but no matter how many times i’ve seen heidelberg, it never fails to awe me. we also took the rhine cruise from ruedesheim to the loreley rock, which, acording to german folklore, tells a tale of maiden who sings and whose voice lures fishermen to destruction. folklores, history, castles, and fortresses: the rhine cruise is the quintessential must for tourists in central germany. on c’s last day, we spent a languid day at the hessenpark, took a few pictures of the roemerberg and the frankfurt skyline.. and whooops, the weekend is over!

it’s been a lot of fun playing tourist. even jan had a great time and was sad as we brought c to the airport. it was a hectic weekend, and we covered hundreds of kilometers on the autobahn, but jan enjoyed the excursions so much. hmmm… sometimes, it takes other people to make you realize the beauty that’s within your reach.
