So on August 14, 2014 our charter bus arrived at the Grafenwoehr, US Army Post. It is a lot smaller then our previous assignment at Ft. Sill, OK, but, with all the downsizing of army posts Graf is growing and there is a lot of building going on. The hotel where we are going to be spending about a month is new and nice. The gym is new and nice and the area is surrounded by amazing forests.
Regensburg
Our first weekend here we decided to rent a car and get off post. We braved the Autobohn (yes people do drive fast) and drove south about an hour and a half to a city called
Regensburg. This was a great place to start this adventure with. It was fun because you could really see the Christian influence on the city. While we were there we went to The Dom St. Peter, one of Bavaria's grandest gothic cathedrals.
Regensburg got its name on the map because it has the first stone bridge to cross the Danube river. It was being renovated when we were there, but we were able to walk across the bridge and take some photos.
