Our Visit to Castle Frankenstein (cue the crack of thunder, howling wolf and scary organ music)

Yesterday, we took a journey up into the mountains to visit the ruins of the Burg Frankenstein.  Sounds scary, right?  Not so much: Burg Frankenstein Photos.

Maybe if it wasn't such a beautiful day it would have been a better experience, but what can you expect for a 1 Euro admission price?

Every weekend seems to bring a Festival to Frankfurt.  Since we've been here, we've had Apfelweinfest, Museumsuferfest, and now this weekend is Leipsigerstrassenfest.  Not sure yet what we'll see there, but I expect it will involve too much alcohol and maybe some bratwurst (that seems to be a standard feature of Fests here).  However, the big news is that next weekend brings us Dippemess.  Looks like it is a kick ass carnival thing with rides, food, alcohol, music, etc. and it runs for 11 days!  Then, they do it again in the Spring!

The Germans sure love to party!
