A visit to a nearby town ... Bad Sackingen

We were able to spend part of the day with friends, Randy and Nancy, who will be leaving Germany next week. We drove about 45 minutes to this town and enjoyed a wonderful lunch and time together. We had never been there before and were surprised to know that this is so close. What a great historical place!
The local church...




This and that...around town.




The longest wooden, covered bridge in Europe. The original wood pilings have been replaced by concrete and of course, there have been other repairs as well. If I remember right, the bridge was built in the 1600's. It goes across the Rhine river. On one side is Switzerland, the other is Germany. A white line on about the middle of the bridge represents the border.



This local mailman brings a little color to delivering mail.

The park by the Trumpet Museum.


Note the trumpeter.
