Bavaria



Planning trips to Bavaria always invokes images of romantic half-timber houses, green mountains, and locals dressed in lederhosen riding bicycles through town. Bamberg is one of these perfectly-preserved Bavarian sanctuaries. This weekend, I'm moving to Bamberg. Though I'm sad to be farther from Paris, there will be new places to explore.
