Anyway...
Dick, my son made it back to Wursburg today, and as you suggested, he toured a castle there (
the castle?) He was impressed, especially by the unguided half of the tour. A co-worker (his supervisor, no less) took him and another American intern. He wanted to get to Wursburg anyway, and that saved the visitors the train fare.
My son is going to try to contact the family he stayed with for a week in Munich five years ago. They subsequently sent their son here with his school group, and he stayed with us for two weeks. He hopes to get down there on his upcoming 4 day weekend, characteristically waiting until the eleventh hour to make plans. They sure have frequent holidays in Germany. This is the third one since he arrived in late May.
He's passing on a group outing to Prague because he wants to drink in the culture, and is convinced the others will be more interested in other beverages. That's my boy!
He'll be taking a one-on-one German class starting next week. His German language skills are so far advanced that he's literally in a class by himself. There's a U.S. Army base in the town he's staying in, and the language school caters to their needs, apparently.
