Ansbach and Wurzburg

This being our first week in the country and next week being our first 40 hour work week it was suggested to only do day trips this weekend. Which actually works perfectly because it gave us the opportunity to see Ansbach, our town, and to figure out the train system on a short trip to Wurzburg with less pressure.


Saturday afternoon we decided to head into town after not hearing anything from the girls out at Illesheim, I have NO idea how to spell that, our base decided to head into town. A quick taxi ride dropped us off in the middle of everything, at the castle. Which was less than impressive and under some construction. Ansbach is actually a pretty small town. We walked ALL over it with no problem. Don't get me wrong my feet are SORE, but it wasn't like trying to walk from one end of Davenport to the other! As my group of girls were getting done checking out the train station we ran into the our friends from Ill. I think I'll call the other base Ill. for short! It's prefect! Anyway we spent the rest of the night together and finished the evening at an Irish Pub in town. It was a fun evening.


Sunday was a much more organized trip. We decided to go to a Wine Fest in Wurzburg with both bases of girls. That's eleven people to walk around with...it's a lot of people to keep track of! We were to meet up at the Wurzburg train station around noon, but turns out we connected with them while on the train! So off we went. The wine fest was good for some awesome food! I had a bratwrust on a bun, a crepe with Nutella, and a glass of "sweet" wine for lunch! It was delicious! There is a castle, the residence, and a fortress in Wurzburg. We made it to the Fortress. It was a LONG climb up through a grape yard to get there! It felt like my first weekend in Heidelberg! I was pretty surprised that I made it all the way up. By the time we got done there it was time to head back to the train station. Wurzburg was a fun city to walk around, but I could have taken a tram back to the train because my legs were like jelly! And now my legs are quivering and cramping from all the abuse! Time to find someone to take me to the Commissary for Aleve and/or Mortin IB!
