23 April 2026 Hermann: Driving the Hermann Circuit and Dinner at Vintage

 


We drove all around town on a ride down memory lane.  Several sections of town had changed dramatically and other places I had forgotten about entirely.  We curised for an hour or more talking about the changes and about the things that stayed the same.  We had reservations at the Vintage 1847 restaurant and headed up for dinner.  We shared wine and tasty German food.  We drove around a bit more and then headed to the AirBnB to meet up with Tom.
