Marburg

(FYI, this entry is about three weeks behind what I'm actually doing. This is because I care enough to organize pictures and put them up at the same time. So there.)

So Marburg: city of the Grimm Brothers, Martin Luther, and a lot of steps. Now, due to the tourist center not offering English tours, the Julia experience was a bit more of the "Botanical Garden, castle, and a lot of steps" version.

But there is St Elizabeth's Church, which might be my favorite so far, on account of it being the most peaceful. There was also a wedding going on there, and I kept seeing the bride and groom all over the city later, getting pictures done. Oh, the tourists had a field day with that one.

The Botanical Gardens were lovely, of course, but reminded me how much Marburg is a college town (technically, the city is just one big university)-- students hanging out all over the place. The city itself is a bit of a trip to walk through, because you start out at McD's, and go up, and then you find yourself by a castle surrounded by old buildings. It was a lovely day trip. Pictures are, as usual, here.
