I was back in Bonn, the rustic university city on the banks of the Rhine. Beethoven was born here; you'll find him as a pinup celebrity on every corner, with his outlandish hairdo even more extended than the original. I lived and worked here in 1998 when Bonn no longer served as the capital of West Germany. After the unification of East and West Germany in 1990, Bonn was no longer the capital but still served as the seat of government. When I arrived, embassies were moving to Berlin, which would soon be the capital and the heart of government.
Great! Now I want Spätzle 😉. Seeing and reading all this I will have to hop on a train in Basel and head to Bonn & Cologne pretty soon.
Thanks for introducing me to Bonn - it was never on my radar. I had heard of the Siebengebirge in geography class, but wasn't interested in walking/hiking back then.
Glad you had a good walk and that onion soup sounds delicious. And German bread is pretty decent too - even the brown kind.
Enchantment, again. Inviting writing/reading challenges us to visit and collect emotions for long last memories. For me, Bonn is not so far away but time is essential. Thank you for sharing your best moments around the worl.

I enjoyed reading this one.
I, too, suddenly wanted spätzle 🙂
A wonderful article that would entice a visit to this lovely German city and certainly put everyone in a Christmas spirit!
The story of the graves found of the couple and their dog is amazing! 14,000 years!
Thank you for another splendid writing. I always enjoy your memories and observations and the photos are spectacular!
