Return to Germany - October 1999

Since we left Germany in July 1995, I hadn't had the opportunity to travel back for any visits to see the friends we left behind.  I got my first chance in October 1999.  After I surprised the heck out of my German neighbors Gerhard and Ursula on Saturday morning by showing up at their door unannounced, we visited for a while and then hopped in their car and headed off to the Black Forest for the day.  Ursula had recently been to a cafe on the grounds of a castle (Schloss) in the village of Glatt, and both Gerhard and Ursula had been meaning to try an interesting restaurant in the nearby village of Haigerloch (which had its own castle), so we did both! I also spent an evening at Stuttgart's answer to Oktoberfast - the Canstater Volksfest.
