Circling almost 3,000km of German countryside, the group visited hometowns of 26 German immigrants to America
Each day was an new adventure. From experiencing the tastes of "wild boar" to schnitzel
from a grand palace to castles
from cathedrals to village churches
from Hans and Karin's backyard coffee break to a medieval feast at Allstedt Schloss
from a luxurious tourcoach to a cruise on the Rhine River
the group experienced Germany at its grandest
with family!
This group of 32 cuzzins
descended from five different German Allstadt/Altstadt Clans
made the trek from Dulles/Washington D.C. to Frankfurt for an eye opening look at the hometowns of their various ancestors. And, at four separate banquets, met almost 60 of their German cousins
The tour route covered 6 German States
