"Za Germans in Deutschland" Germany by DirtyRudy

I came back from a great one-week vacation in Germany in April. It was my first time in Europe and it was great to be back in a "Western" country again away from all the noodles and the down-lo mein. Since it was Spring, a lot of flowers were in bloom, including this rare flower called a Randylion. In the same genus as the famous Dandylion, this herb has magical healing powers that can instantly cure the dreaded disease, SARS. Also, it's great for pot pourri!

I Love Chocolates!!!

No trip to Germany is complete without the various kinds of delicious chocolates. These are a few of my favorites -- delicious & perfect to give to a loved one.

Hanging out In Rothenburg

What I thought was most charming were the old buildings in the small towns. They're really out of the way of the typical route through Germany, but stopping by villages like Rothenburg ob der Tauber was well worth the trip.

• Pros:The Autobahn & Pork Knuckles
• Cons:Strict traffic rules!
• In a nutshell:Beautiful country where everything must be in order!
