I took all of the MWR weekend tour bus trips I could to different countries and cities. I tried to see everything. And I ventured on my own quite a bit too.
By contrast, my sister in law and their family went and I don't think they left the base. What a waste. |

Dammit, hearing that makes me really sad I pissed out on a chance at a 3 year assignment in Stuttgart. Take advantage and live it up! Otherwise, you will be bitter like myself.

He is sure to bring more happiness (and headache/bitterness) than any trip to Stuttgart. |
That is true track! BTW, he's named after his grandfather Alvin. Mommy didn't like Adam Jr. :)

Southern Germany on the edges of the Alps and on into the Alps themselves in Austria are awesome. Go to the castles, see everything you can.
Go to the smaller fests that run all spring and summer in all of the medium and smaller towns. They are all great. I suddenly crave ein mass helles and an oom-pah band like you wouldn't believe. My wife doesn't get it. |

My favorite festival is wine fest in an local town called Bernkastel. Probably the coolest place I've ever been.
I found a few pics of bernkastel I think you might enjoy. In the first pic, the little pizzaria on the right is hands down the best food I have ever had anywhere. And a lot of the houses in this part of town date back to the 1400's Most are still being used as little cafes and such. The whole town is down in a valley along the mosel river and surrounded by vineyards and has the ruins of a castle overlooking it. https://www.miataforumz.com/attachme...ine=1328821358 https://www.miataforumz.com/attachme...ine=1328821358 https://www.miataforumz.com/attachme...ine=1328821358 https://www.miataforumz.com/attachme...ine=1328821358 https://www.miataforumz.com/attachme...ine=1328821358 https://www.miataforumz.com/attachme...ine=1328821358 |
wow, that's beautiful. My ancestors left all this for the Midwest of the US? Sheesh, food and money aren't everything.
