Good Times in Regensburg, Germany
Following the Bavarian pilgrimage, the professor, the students and I returned to the professor’s home, right outside of Regensburg.
We had lovely days together which included:
- several trips to the nearby lake for swimming,
- great dinners at home with copious beer and homemade limoncello (yum!),
- a visit to the historic old city of Regensburg,
- attending a church service,
- a visit to Regensburg Dom (Cathedral),
- a walk in the forest to search for foxglove flowers,
- an evening at a beer garden and
- a trip to the Walhalla Monument to view the Danube River from above.
For tired pilgrims, we packed a lot in! The professor and his wife were exceedingly generous in all ways and my gratitude is immense.
Regensburg is a beautiful city.
As one of the few German cities that was mostly unscathed during WW II, it retains the charm of two-thousand years of architecture and culture. The whole medieval center of the city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site; a must-see.
I’m glad my crazy adventure took me to Regensburg. And I had a wonderful time in Germany, much to my own surprise! Certainly, it’s a place I hope to visit again.
