Regensburg

Jodi's friend Marc gave us a ride to Regensburg, which is an old city that was an important trade city after the Romans built a stone bridge across the Danube.  We walked across the old bridge and also saw St. Peters Cathedral.  The Cathedral was by far the most impressive site that we've seen.  It was originally built around 700 AD and rebuilt several times, but the gothic architecture was amazing.  We had a good time seeing the city and doing some shopping.

We had a great time visiting with Marc and his wife.  He took us out for supper last night and we had some authentice German food.  I had some sort of wheat beer that was very good.  The food was good but it didn't go without any snags.  Marc's wife, by accident, ordered a soup made out of calf lung.  She actually tried it but was unimpressed.  Jodi shared some of her schnizel and fries with her.  Jodi will probably add some more to the blog later but right now she is resting.

  2. I am glad that you got to enjoy an evening out but it scares me to hear that the swelling is so bad. Thinking of you.
