Drive to Dinkelsbuhl

Last weekend, Buddy and I decided to revisit the charming town of Dinkelsbuhl. Several reasons:

· We had driven through this town two weeks ago on a rainy Sunday afternoon…the town was too quaint not to make a return visit.

· A perfect opportunity to do much Christmas shopping in “one fell swoop”. I can’t tell you anymore, as some readers of this blog may be a beneficiary of a Christmas surprise that will otherwise be spoiled. Suffice to say, I am 90% finished with my Christmas shopping.

· It was a gorgeous fall weekend…cool fall temperatures, bright sunshine, and lots of fall foliage. It was simply too sinful to stay at home.

So, armed with GPS, a travel book and a hotel reservation, we set out for Dinkelsbuhl. Granted there was not a lot of occupy one once the shops closed, but an evening tour of the city, and an early night was just perfect, given the grueling travel schedule of the week before.
