Just kidding

“Over every mountain there is a path, although it may not be seen from the valley.”

Theodore Roethke
American poet, 1908-1963

Windows in Sauer’s place

A half-timbered house in Ladenburg in the south west of Germany was the birthplace of Johann Christoph Sauer.

The plaque on the house is in German, Pennsylvania Dutch and English explaining about Johann Sauer.

Sauer was a Pennsylvania-German printer who in 1743 printed the first German bible in America known as the “Sauer Bible”.

Today I would like to nominate Agatha (you were foolish enough to like my #5 post – and with a name like “40thousandkm” – what did you expect?). There is no pressure to participate, though. But if you share some of your travel photos, have fun! I’ll definitely have a look (please send me a link).

In Ulm

Ulm is a town in the south of Germany. The well-known tongue twister “In Ulm, um Ulm und um Ulm herum” has little meaning beyond being a tongue twister: in Ulm, around Ulm and round and round Ulm.

In the middle of Ulm, in the old town, houses stand close to each other, compact like in many originally medieval towns.
