Today was spent exploring the “Hanseatic City of Lubeck”. We had a booklet that showed 2 self-guided walking tours and we followed it to a “T”. I hope that you will have time to take a look at the pictures in the “Picture Gallery”. This has been one of the best. As Louise said, “this is a photographers paradise”. I know, I know, I’m not a “Professional”, but I shot the heck out of this city today. I don’t know how many I will be keeping, but those that I do I hope you will enjoy. We have taken pictures of the churches and commercial buildings that were bombed by the British on Palm Sunday in 1942. The medieval inner precincts of Lubeck were destroyed. With a lot of reconstruction, Lubeck has come back to a lot of it’s original beauty and has been recognized by UNESCO. Today, it is listed in the World Heritage ledgers. In our walk through Lubeck, we are looking at Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and neo-Classical buildings, all in a unique compactness and togetherness. The 1st sign of establishment on these shores was in 1000 AD and following, the great buildings of the DOM St Marien in 1170. In the pictures of the Gothic Church of St. Marien, you will notice the bell’s that crashed down from the towers in the raid of 1942 and are still exactly were they landed. On another side of our visit into the city, we stopped for lunch at “Potatoes” Pfannkuchen-und Kartoffel-Haus. What a great meal !!!! I wish we could all get together there and enjoy any and all the “Potato” items on the menu. Let me know if you want the phone number for home delivery…. By the way, I also had a great beer this afternoon that you’ve got to try if you can….CESU Premium Alus …Latvian. You can thank me later by offering me one when we get back home. Well, Tomorrow….on the road to Berlin
It’s interesting, when we were in the old “Eastern Block” Countries, our little “Bumble Bee” was one of the “upper class” campers in the campgrounds….now that we’re back into Germany….well, I wouldn’t call “Bumble Bee” upper class. The campers and caravans (trailers) here are much newer, larger, and have a ton more room inside. Now I must admit, Louise and I are completely satisfied with our little campervan and we really wouldn’t trade. We’ll see just what we will have when we get back to the states and chose our new “home on wheels” then.
