Dropped Austin off at the airport this AM and took a short jump to a couple really great stops. First, we visited Wetzlar to check out the famed Dom cathedral. This church was begun in the 800's and has been in continuous construction since. With that amount of time it has seen drastic changes in architectural styles giving it a pieced together look. It literally has one whole corner that is unfinished, and at least 4 different styles throughout. I have read about this place before, very cool! Check out the video of the organ playing inside: http://youtu.be/6IyJ8x5zL1k. There was a farmers market at the church too, and boy am I glad... Had the best Schafskäse (sheep cheese) I have ever had!
Our next stop was the completely awesome Schloss-Braunfels. It is regarded as the medieval version of Germany's Neuschwanstein (model of Disney castle). Awesome tour and stunning views! Here is the website: http://www.schloss-braunfels.de/en/for-our-visitors.html
