Summer Escape 2016

Got in my car and criss-crossed Germany during a month-long roadtrip. My friends refer to it either as "Tour de Nerd" or "Museum-Orgy"- I call it a summer escape :-)

I looked through your gallery again. I enjoyed following your journey. I am reminded of W.G. Sebald "Die Ringe des Saturn".

I enjoyed this gallery so much! My mother was born in Germany, in a small town not too far from Stuttgart, called Lauterbach. It is in the Black Forest. Unfortunately, I have never been to Germany, even though I have relatives there.
