13 June ’04, Sunday. Last night after dinner we met a wonderful couple from Sterling Scotland….John and Muriel. We’ve been anxious to see Scotland and now we have another reason to look forward to our visit. Well we pulled out of Frankfurt about 10am and believe it or not….again we went the wrong way….we have got to do better on leaving these bigger cities. It didn’t take us long and we saw our mistake so we did a “U-ee” and got back on track. We are heading for Prague and taking as many back roads as we possibly can. As we travel these smaller roadways we are constantly amazed at the beauty of all the small villages and some of the big surprises they will show you. Today was no different….about 1pm I was looking for a place to have lunch and we drove into a small village called Lohr A. Main. The small town of Lohr in situated on the river banks of the Main and the Rechtenbach. Today it is pretty much a tourist village but is also very busy in high tech, lumber, and glass (especially mirror glass). Also there is a beautiful castle that was the home of “Snow White”. Yes, Snow White. After many years of investigation, Dr. Karlheinz Bartels was able to prove conclusively, on the basis of facts provided by “fabular” science, that Snow White did come from the castle in Lohr. His study even goes on to include the 7 small people around the area of Lohr. One more bit of information on Lohr….The mirrors were so elaborately worked that they were accorded the reputation of “always speaking the truth” and become a favorite gift at European Crown and Aristocratic Courts. We just thought you would like to know about this little village. We really did enjoy it. Now back to the back roads and onto our final destination for the day, Bamberg. Tomorrow….More on Bamberg, Germany.
