CHURCH TRIP TO HARDENBURG CASTLE
May 30th was another German holiday, no work and no stores open. Our church had a activity to go see the Hardenburg Castle about 30 miles west of Mannheim. This is a pretty big unrestored castle and a town that has a lot of health restoring/restful places for people to come to that have health issues that they want cured.
