Murilo and I hopped on a bus to Konigstein yesterday to visit an old castle there. I'd heard about it from several people and seen it when the first grade classes visited a dentist nearby. Last June, I told Jessi's dad and step-mother how to get there (from directions I'd been given) and the three of them set off one day to find it. They loved it! I told Murilo that if they could find it, we could too. We had such lovely weather it was a shame to waste it in sitting indoors!There is a great view of Frankfurt from the highest tower. Whoever built this had an incredible view - which, I believe, was the point of building things up on hills!
After we got home, I jumped in the shower to get ready for dinner with the Szebestas at a Chinese restaurant. Unfortunately, I ended up ruining our perfect day by slipping on shampoo in the shower. Now, my shoulder hurts, my neck is stiff, and I have a humongous bruise on my upper thigh (if you want to see it, I'll email it to you). Sigh!

The reason that they built castles up on hills was for protection against people who wanted to attack them. With the castle high on a hill it was easier for them to see them coming and the castle would have the advantage. So yes Cary, it was for the view. ;-)
I knew that :)
Very nice pictures. Since I had a view of Konigstein from Feldburg Mountain last summer, I can put off a trip to the castle when I visit next summer.
I have a nice picture of Konigstein from Feldburg, check it out at my Picasa photos.
Legal, Cary, belas fotos.
Parece que o Zizu achou um "amiguinho"... rsrsrs
