Isn't this building beautiful. West side of Ladenburg. To the left of the building is a pillar from Roman times. 
Remnants of an old Roman wall next to the beautiful building.
The NeckaMunde river which runs east from the Rhine River through Ladenburg and through Heidelbert.
This is inside of the Catholic Church in Ladenburg. Very ornate and quiet. This church is about 400 years old.

This is looking out from inside the Schlafenburg across Dossenheim towards Ladenburg. This is taken from the patio outside the restaurant.
This is a picture of the inside of the old Strahlenburg Fortress above Dossenheim. They have
built modern buildings to make a restaurant. Very narrow windy road up the mountain to get to
the Fortress. The roads are just barely wide enough to allow two small cars to pass each other. This is a picture of a little bar at the base of the tower, but it is closed due to the safety hazard of the old tower above it.
Looking up towards the Strahlenburg (Fortress). The closed bar is behind the windows. To the left of the Fortress you can see the to of the newer restaurant and a small patio.

Beautiful sight, Jennifer. You are demonstrating a talent with the computer, over and over. And a design sense. Nice of you to do this for your mom and dad...er... Sizzle N' Dizzle. Uh, Sister Sizzle, and Elder Dizzle. (Have to be spiritually correct here :-).
The photos posted felt very familiar to me...the older parts of German towns haven't changed much in hundreds of years, it seems. Darryl, Carol..the home style you are living in, tho, has changed. I never saw anything like that back in 1958-60 when I was working those cities. Even the wealthy homes back then, had a German-architectural feel/appearance to them, not this modern era look.
I'll look forward to peeking in periodically. The Internet truly is emerging as one of the most important inventions, along with the combustible engine.
Love to you both...and all...
Garry & Janet
