It was kind of a slow day, relatively speaking based on the past few days of driving and walking. While we did drive and walk, it was only to Ansbach which was a 5 to 10 minute drive from Bergoberbach. We stopped by Christina's parents place and walked to The Residenz, a castle where royalty not only lived but also did much of their government business. This castle dated back into 1400s. The sister of Alexander the Great and Princess of Prussia lived here at one time. While walking to the Residenz, we saw Jurgen's mom and sister at a cafe in Ansbach (yes Jurgen, we got a picture). The Residenz was nice, although the tour was only in German (they did have a pamphlet in English, but it told very little of each room). Manuel did most of the translation (by the way, I ordered Rosetta stone to learn Deutsch).
After touring the Residenz, we walked over to the gardens and got many pictures of the beautiful flowers. We also got some action pictures...see the pics.
Tomorrow looks rather exciting. We are taking the train to Nürnburg, then I will be speaking at Marcus' English class where his students will ask me questions on English and then after I answer, I will ask questions in English and they have to respond in English.. These are 11th graders...23 of them. This should be a lot of fun. Afterwards we will tour a museum, go to the castle (one I didn't get to the last time I was here because it was closed), and then some shopping.
Check out the pics...
