What: Just your ordinary beautiful street in Regensburg. This was par for the course for walking around this town.Attendees: Hanns, Klara, Reinhold, Monika, Yours truly
Comments: We walked around for quite a bit this day. The weather was completely awesome as usual and there were lots of birds chirping. Along the streets and in gardens there were massive amounts of Lobelia growing. This seemed to be the case for most areas in Germany that I visited. I told Klara that my mom, aunt, and grandmother plant lots of it during this time of year. She seemed happy to know this.
What: Regensburg CathedralAttendees: Hanns, Klara, Reinhold, Monika, Yours truly
Comments: This church was really big, but very dark inside so really none of my pictures turned out from the inside. This was highly disappointing as it was really nice in there.
What: A very old church in Regensburg, so old in fact that I can not find the link for it. This isn't the major church in town but is certainly the most ornate.Attendees: Hanns, Klara, Reinhold, Monika, and Yours truly
Comments: I went to the back of this church and saw dates that went as far back as the mid 800's. There were also a couple of skeletons that were on each side inside glass boxes. This church had a mini church off to the right after you entered it. In the basement which usually is reserved for a tomb I found an even smaller cathedral which looked like it was reserved for smaller more intimate ceremonies.
What: Old stone bridge of RegensburgAttendees: Clara, Hans, Reinhold, Monika, and Yours truly
Comments: This bridge was very old and spans the Danube river. There were some people sun bathing on the other side. Where this picture was taken was a very old restaurant that has been flooded many times. It had the most sour sauerkraut that I could ever dream of. I think they said it ferments for 10 years. My aunt Chris would love it! I literally felt it in my cheeks for the rest of the day

That looks like St Emmeram's Abbey in Regensburg - and it is as old as you stated. Here's the Wikipedia entry on it:

The basement tomb is probably where St. Emmeram is buried.
Your description of the cathedral inside the basement of that "very old church in Regensburg" makes me wonder if there isn't some smaller cathedral inside that one where super secret ceremonies would take place during the intimate ones. God how would that work.
Glad to see you're getting in some quality non-work time during your trip!
You're right Sean, I would love it! Bring some back! See you soon. Chris
So...this is a place for those who really like sauerkraut.
