While I am sure this thread may not be as interesting as Gil's "Hello from China" thread, and will have much different scenery than Henry's journal of his time in the eastern Sierras... it seems that I get to travel to Germany for work in a couple of months. The purpose of this thread is two-fold:
1. to share photos of places that some of you may never have seen
2. to solicit advice from those of you who have been to Germany, in terms of things to do and see while there.
My employer wants me to spend two weeks there, working with some of my guys there face to face instead of off-hours virtual meetings. It will be fun.
I have never been to Germany; our office there is in Kelsterbach which has been described to me as an industrial suburb of Frankfurt, where there is nothing to do outside of working. So, the advice I've been given is to stay in Mainz and ride the train or drive a rental car into the office during the week. I for sure have one weekend free to travel around and see more things; but I may extend the trip and use some personal vacation time to venture around a bit more, after the work is done.
So anyway, if you have advice I am listening. Otherwise I will update this thread during or likely after, my trip.
