Ich war in Deutschland...

Like the title says, I was in Germany.
It was great! Fantastisch! Toll! Gut! Bombardisch! Yeah. ...
My favorite part? It's hard to pick.
We went to Berg Nanstein, Heidelberg, Rottenburg, a Barefoot Path, Berlin, Sanssouci Park in Potsdam, citadel in Bitch, France, and the citadel gardens. I loved Sanssouci palace and Berlin was a cool, yet somewhat sad, city. The gardens in Bitch were beautiful and it was just my luck that my camera died on me when taking pictures! Rottenburg was a cute old town and Heidelberg had interesting ruins. I think I loved the historical aspects of everything in Germany. I also appreciated the cleanliness of its big cities. I liked the fact that there was no speed limit on the Autobahn (for the most part) and the sidewalks that were everywhere. The bike tour was fabulous and if you ever find yourself in Barcelona, Berlin, London, Paris, or Tuscany take a Fat Tire city Bike Tour. It was great.
Enjoy the pictures!
