Heidelberg
Jim and I went to Heidelberg the first weekend he was here in Germany, as part of an excursion he had to do and I met up with him there. It was fun to see his reaction to the old city and I like how at home there is a University that has the same name.
Dachau
The pretty little town of Dachau belies the history of the concentration camp located here.
Stuttgart Volksfest
Pretty much a combination of a country fair and Oktoberfest. There are rollercoasters, vendors hawking roasted nuts and dart games promising enormous stuffed animals in exchange for a demonstration of your skill (and a wad of your cash). And of course, beer tents, although they seem to be much smaller than in Munich.
This event seems to be frequented more by locals than tourists as there wasn't much english spoken around us as we sat and enjoyed our beer.
If you do ever come to Germany during Oktoberfest season I suggest going to one because it is an experience like no other. As well as almost everyone is in Durndls and Lederhosen. As well is it is what Germany is known for and for a good reason.
