This was a beautiful hike on a day off to celebrate the Wall coming down. We were told to wear jeans and long-sleeved shirts to prevent tick bites, but were sure hot! (Myles actually got a tick bite on a different day, and I was worried about possible Lyme disease, but luckily he's fine).
We enjoyed hiking with friends, seeing lots of vineyards, trying freshly-pressed grape juice, and visiting a market. The drive and views were incredible.
Thinking we'd help ourselves be a little more cultured, we were sure to check out German Natl. Anthems on U-Tube so we could sing along when the time came. We were surprised the time never came. When Myles asked somebody about it, they said, "It's illegal to sing the first 2 verses of that song." Oops. Too bad those were the 2 we'd learned.
It's one thing to hear about history. It's sure another to live it. People our age have stories of their parents having to sneak across borders. It really wasn't that long ago. We're sure blessed in many, many ways.
