A few weeks ago I hit the big 3-2. 32 years old. Still clinging to the early thirties! In celebration Brandon and I went on a 5 day trip to southern Germany. I adore Germany. After Spain it is my favorite country. The people are nice, the scenery is beautiful, and it has so much history. We flew into Frankfurt and took the train over to Wurzburg for the night. We didn't do much there as we were dog tired and left early to go on down to the medieval/touristy city of
Rothenburg ob der Tauber. We were there on my actually birthday and celebrated with a lovely visit to the medieval torture museum where we learned about many horrible, horrible things. Such a great birthday. :-)

Then we journeyed on down to Munich were we stayed for the last 3 nights. We took a trip down to see the fairy tale castle
Neuschwanstein. It truly was a fairy tale. I highly recommend you put it on your life's list of things to do.

We spent a day walking around Munich enjoying all that the city had to offer. Yummy beer and brats for one thing. I was even able to try honey wine. Yes, wine made from honey. It was tasty. We went to the park which is one of the biggest city parks in the world. But what makes this park cool is that there is a river that runs through it (no Brad Pitt though) and at one end a wave is created so there are people that come there to surf! It was super fun to watch these guys surfing on a river wave.

We also went up to the BMW factory but weren't able to take a tour because we went on a holiday. We'd already been turned away from the Deutches Museum because of the holiday. But the lobby of the BMW place was neat and it was right by the Olympic park.

Now that we are back home we plan to stay here for a little while. No trips planned anytime soon just working and enjoying NYC. I've also been dealing with some fatigue (one reason there was no post for awhile) and joint pain. Turns out I have rheumatoid arthritis! Just a mild case the doc says but still, it's something that is effecting everyday life. Working on getting it under control and adding work outs back into my life. Looking into starting hot yoga too. There is a place across the street so I really have no excuse.
Do you or someone you know have RA or go to hot yoga? Any tips or advice? Please leave a comment if you do!
