Today we ventured out on our own to Wurzburg. We loaded into Crystal's new car, set the nav system, hit the autobahn, and cruised along a little over 100 mph. Target of the day was The Residence. It's big. It's fancy. The English tour didn't start until 1500. So we headed into downtown and got some lunch. Every town in Germany is in full prep mode for what must be some serious outdoor Christmas markets.

As it got closer to three, we headed back towards the Residence and took some pictures. First out front, and then as we walked through the gardens.
Inside, the place was amazing. I managed only a couple of pictures of the grand staircase from the foyer before I realized there was no photography permitted. The rest of the palace was much more impressive. I highly recommend it. And don't forget the little chapel which is not part of the main tour and admission. It's mind boggling.

Once we made it home, it was time to face reality. Reality meant that John and I had run through his beer supply. So it was time to shop. I like shopping for beer in Germany. Grab a case, and start dumping in 1/2 L bottles of whatever sounds good.
And then it's time for our nightly Scrabble challenge. After 4 nights and 7 games , Crystal still leads. Although tonight Erin was the first to clear all 7 letters for a 74 point score...that made up some ground.
