Goslar

Took a day trip yesterday to Goslar, a former mining town on the northern edge of the Harz mountains. The photos don't really do the town justice--it was unbelievably cute.  We had sun for a little while, but the real spring excitement  was the crocus explosion.  They covered the hillside leading up to the long-abandoned castle that was rebuilt in a flurry of nationalism in the 19th century.  Really hard to get them on camera, but Dan taught me how to use the macro function!

Goslar is on the list for a return visit with guests...it could be you!  Everywhere we go we say, "ooh, this would be so much better in the summer when the beer garden is open!"  We have crocuses--beer gardens can't be far behind, right?
