About the small things in life that seem oh so big

Aschaffenburg, a pretty town

Posted in Storytelling by Cheryl on 15 April 2007

When we moved to Aschaffenburg, we discovered pretty quickly it is famous for three things: the Johannesburg castle, lots of churches, and beautiful parks. With the good weather we have had this weekend and the friends we had visiting from Holland, we were really able to enjoy the parks at their best, and that just reminded us how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful area.

Gardens by Johannesburg castle
Yesterday we walked around the quaint gardens next to the Johannesburg castle. So much was in bloom, it brought out the romance (and hayfever) in all of us. One picture doesn’t begin to do that area justice, it is so nicely done.

Schönbusch park
Today, at the huge park just outside of town, we spent a couple hours this afternoon laying in the grass, next to the water, watching small kids in rented boats rowing their parents along; listening to the small fountain at the side of the lake that sounded like a small waterfall; salivating at the sight of the people walking by with ice-cream cones.

Vacation feeling at home
I must have been lost in day-dreams when our friend Michael took the picture below of Tim and me.
