A twelve episode travelogue, written on my second trip to Germany and Europe to visit my friend Martin and to attend my friends Andi and Karin’s wedding.

More time was spent in fewer locations than the 1993 trip, visiting friends Matthias and Kristina in Hanau, and Matt in Darmstadt. This was also my first experiece at a German wedding, in Bad Überkingen.

Travelogue Germany 1993

My first twelve episode travelogue, written in 1993 as a serialized email sent to friends around the world. This was my first trip abroad, in which I traveled around Southern, Central and Eastern Germany, Eastern France and into Northern Switzerland over a 2 week period with my good friend Martin.

This trip included a near visit to see the city of Prague, but was stopped short and redirected to the beautiful city of Dresden. On this visit I also spent a few days in Berlin, two days in Switzerland and an afternoon in Strasbourg, France.
