Hohenzollern: Here I Come

You know, I had a very enjoyable weekend. Not a very social one, but I got some things crossed off my list.

As we hit 60 degrees on Saturday, I finally took a trip to Hohenzollern castle, which was about an hour away with train connections. Seeing the darn thing was pretty much a forced day trip, since only one bus per day goes from the train station to the castle and back (11:20am and back at 4:10pm). So I packed a lunch, my loving camera, and set out on my way.

It was cool. I had wanted to get there for at least six months now, so am glad I went. Climbed up around the mountain, toured the inside, took in the separate chapels, and had plenty of extra time to explore the mountain and get any and every pic I wanted. And one set of doors had a favorite decoration of mine - A lion's head with the door knocker hanging in his mouth. The cathedral in Cologne had a similar set of doors. It was getting chilly later in the afternoon, and I was beat when it was time to come home. Already dark by then, too.

I also managed to do laundry, clean the kitchen, and wash all of the floors in my apartment this weekend. Not bad, eh? I have company planned for Tuesday night so the place is in tip top shape for that as well.

Ready to start a new workweek, I suppose. Bring it on - only got 10 days left until vacation. The countdown has begun (ok, it actually began back in October but that's beside the point).
