I have been to all of those places except for Berchtesgaden. This is not a good time to visit there because the Eagle's Nest is closed because of the fire.

Frankfurt
One day is enough there. You can spend a few hours hanging around the cafes and beer halls of Romerburg Square and strolling along the riverfront. That's about all we did there. Really, the main reason to go to Frankfurt is to fly in or out of the major airport.

Rothenburg
A nice little medieval village along the Romantic Road. Walk the streets of the town, visit the historic church and circle the town by walking the ramparts on top of the Town Wall. Well worth a day and night.

Nuremberg
We took a WWII history tour. This was a major base for the Nazi Party. We were shown some of the government buildings and several of the fields where the Nazi propaganda rallies were held, the most prominent of which was Zepplin Field where Hitler gave speeches to the masses.

You can go in the courthouse where the War Crimes Trials were held but the courtroom has been remodeled and does not look the same as it did in the 1940s. We just saw it from the outside but the courtroom windows were pointed out to us.

Tour the castle on top of the hill from where the Holy Roman Empire was ruled. Parts of it are 1000 years old.
Then walk down the hill and through the Old Town to the Main Square.
Well worth the two days.

Munich
The Marienplatz is the main square in the center of town.
You can tour the palaces such as the Residenz where Germany's version of the crown jewels is kept and Nymphenburg Palace.
The Hofbrauhaus is the famous historic beer hall in town. Very lively at night.

Cologne
The main attraction here is the magnificent cathedral.

Salzburg
A beautiful city with a walkable Old Town with good coffee shops. . Plenty of Mozart history, another beautiful cathedral and one of the oldest restaurants in the world. Mirabel Gardens is a short walk across the river.

Bamberg.
It was not bombed during the war, so it has a very well-preserved Old Town. A map of the town from 500 years ago looks the same as the current map.
We were there last year on Good Friday and happened to go in the cathedral while the choir and organist were performing a Bach's St. Matthew's Passion concert.
It is a small, walkable town. There is a 700 year old tavern there that serves smoked beer.

That will be a great trip.

We based in Lugano, Switzerland when we visited the Lake Region.
In Stressa we toured the Barromeo Palace on a small island off the coast. This was the home of St Charles Barromeo. It is an impressive mansion with beautiful terraced gardens.

He was the running back when I first started going to the games. It was always said that if you could pick someone to be on your side in a bar fight, he would be at the top of the list.

I am not a country music fan but those who I have talked to seem to be excited about Zac Brown.

Not this time. I bet Endymion is paying him many, many times more than that.

Same here.
I was at that game in 1970, sitting in the south end zone where Archie was sacked.
I was in that southeast corner in 1968 when Archie as a sophomore had his coming out party, throwing a last minute comeback touchdown pass.
I was also there a couple of years later for Bert Jones to Brad Davis in that exact same spot.
The stadium only held 67,500 people in those days but those were some of the loudest games in the stadium’s history. Especially the 1971 Notre Dame game.

He can’t block and our OL certainly needs all the help it can get.
Berry is probably the most overpaid player on the team relative to his production.

Yes. They always have the best Reveillon menu and summer special menu because they include the best dishes the restaurant has to offer instead of just the second rate stuff at a cheaper price.

Are the South side dorms still there?

Those were taken out when they did the renovations a few years ago that resulted in the South upper deck suites.

All five of those 4th down decisions backfired including the decision to try the long field goal.
Although by the time of the last one the game was a lost cause anyway.

I said at the beginning of this thread that I didn’t think Hall was in danger of getting fired after this short of a period of time.
I think that changed after this past week.
He better turn things around quickly.
There are a lot of unhappy people in the Tulane camp.
