Pope Benedict spent the first part of his career as a professor at the University of Regensburg. He was loved and well known area wide, as was his brother, a bishop of St. Peter's Cathedral, in this German city. An impressive Gothic structure, it is a Bavarian treasure.
The last Friday evening of February, following a 90 minute road trip to our destination, we took a walk. Well kept historic buildings that reminded us of Italy were abundant. Fortunately the window seat across from St. Peter's was open, a great perch for people watching. Our pasta meal was well prepared.
Saturday morning sunshine enticed us to an early stroll; chiming bells, shop windows and cobblestone walkways provided a perfect background. Brunch served at Park Hotel Maximilian deserved a 10! It was beautiful and bountiful. You name it, the buffet had it!
Since this was one of the nicest places we've stayed, celebrating, we ate a bit much.
However, we did not fill our pockets or purse with edible goodies.
But "Bless me Father for I have sinned."
This small espresso cup did end up in my pocket as a souvenir. (I looked for a gift shop and there wasn't one. ) Tom almost moved to another table. I went to church and put money in the donation box. Does that count?
Many castles follow the Danube River's path. We slowly journeyed back to Bamberg on country road. Continual rolling hills and peaceful nature shine in rural Germany.
