You really do care!

I was gushing at the various comments I've gotten on my little site today when I realized how few images you've gotten to see. So I sat down and made myself a little time and now you have a picture page along with a new header. That's the old stone bridge I told you about on the city tour a few posts ago ("1/3 nutshell"), and the quote is from a German author (I think). If you can't read it (I'm trying to clear that up), it says: "Many a day have I devoted to this ancient city's inexhaustible delights, if only I had a year to spend here, a decade, or a lifetime." It's really only one sentence in German, but I'm pretty sure it's a comma splice in English. Still, it's a nice quote, and sums up Regensburg pretty well.
There really is nothing like a medieval city. I live in an old lord's manor, rival of the lord whose tall home now houses a junk shop. Right down the road is the 16th century merchant house, Goldener Turm, also now a dorm. it's really pretty remarkable to look back on this entire city and realize that, though it's had a great history on its own, the great turnings of the world have left it virtually unscathed. No bombs dropped from Allied planes to smash some Nazi secret, no Turks burned or pilliaged its busy streets. Regensburg has just bided its time on the Danube, hosting merchants since the Romans built it.
Pretty impressive.

I'll try and link some pics directly to here once I get them sorted.
