Plans and Maps

First off, there's more new pics up. Check it out. I'm almost caught up to the present. This set has the visit to Nurnburg on it, including the Terra Cotta army and other fun things.
I've gotten a little behind on things, as you've noticed. There's really not much of an excuse for it, I've just not really gotten around to it.
Yesterday was spent doing homework. Lots of homework. I'm glad it's all off my mind and out of the way now, but after listening to my German CD for the sixteenth time I was getting rather impatient. I think it was north German actors trying to do a Bavarian accent and failing miserably. It made absolutely no sense. I pieced something together that sounded close to right.
I also finished reading Life in a Medieval City, which was a great book. I'm 1/2 immersed in the whole Medieval culture thing anyway, but I've never gotten so a clear look at every aspect of a town. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I think that when I get back to the states I'm going to have to buy the set off Amazon, if I can get it cheap.
About the camping...
Map from Regensburg to campground
That's the route. Once we're across the river, we have to walk the rest of the way (about 5 miles). We could just pay the extra penny and ride the bus all the way there, but Tiff wants a scenic hike, so we're just following the shoreline.
By the way, the town in the middle right, Prufening, is one of our art excursions. There's a Monastary out there that we're visiting. The little building across the river from where we're staying is Walhalla (see earlier posts and pics).
So, now you know. Thanks to the regensburg RVV for providing me with the map.
Our bus we were trying to catch leaves in 15 minutes. I guess we're catching the 10:30 now. Tiff had another migraine this morning, which has slowed things down considerably. at this rate she's going to be out of medication by mid-October.
Here's the tentative plan for the next few weekend trips, while I'm thinking of it:

Friday 9/24-26: Schwarzwald (the Black Forest)
Friday 10/01-03: Vienna (or Trier?)
Friday 10/08-10: Berlin
Friday 10/15-17: (other option for Vienna or Trier, whichever we don't do on 10/1).
Friday 10/22-24: EURORAIL ACTIVATES (we'll be far, far away)
Friday 10/29-11/07: FALL BREAK! Tour of Italy (Rome is definite, more details coming)

Like I said, that's all very tentative. Berlin's a planned excursion, so the whole group will be going on it. Vienna is Tiff and Lisa's big thing, we're going to see the Lippizan Stallions. Whatever. I'm going to see Vienna.
Now you know. I'm going to go pack, eat, and get ready to hike.
