Only every few metres.   boy oh boy Jackie and I are a fun wise cracking couple over here. We trade accusations about who is getting us the most lost.
Not without reason. I managed to get us stuck in place called Bierstadt when we went for a Walk in Wiesbaden. See if you can figure out where that is. On that walk, which is in the Frankfurt area, we ended up in an area where the apartments had US flags on them and signs welcoming soldiers home.  Some where near a US base. The people living there had brought their big cars from home.  My sense of direction had disappeared.
We went to Geisenheim where I lived when I was 2 though that was not familiar. We took the boat on the pretty section of the Rhein from Rüdesheim to Koblenz. Castles are visible at all times on theat trip among the vineyards. Cologne was worth the 2 days we sent there for the food and the Cathedral. Everywhere we have been in Germany there are school excursions. These are pretty wild as they wear no uniforms and therefore lack the embarressed and oppressed air of the Australian outing. These groups sound like wildebeest as they apprach. We saw a Robert Crumb exhibition among the modern art at the Ludwig Museum in Köln and there were kids there which surprised us.  On dads recommendation we ate and drank at Schloss Johannisberg which was really tasty and picturesque. Now we are in Braunschweig and Jackie is not treating my sense of direction with the awe I feel is appropriate still.
Jackie: Michael's German is AWesome and he gets compliments from strangers ( who peel themselves off the floor when we tell them we have come all the way from australia) but his sense of direction is AWful.
