When I visited Innsbruck, Austria at the beginning of October of this year, I brought this photo along with me on my IPAD. I so wanted to re-create the photo -- have a photo of me under the same sign that Grandma Theresa posed under in 1961. Well, I looked around at various spots in Innsbruck and to my chagrin I never found that spot. Of course, 52 years later, things can look a lot different. So, I had to settle for sign below.
Reading Grandma Theresa's travel diary, I did notice that she visited the Castle Heidelberg (received by King Ludwig I) on that trip. Since we didn't go to Heidelberg, I did not have the opportunity to see the ruins of that castle. Instead I had the opportunity to visit on of my favorite castles (if not my favorite) the Neuschwanstein Castle, built for King Ludwig II. It was definitely one of my top reasons for the trip and I was not disappointed. Not only is the castle majestic, but the surrounding area is absolutely beautiful.
