We rented a car in Mainz, thanked J.R profusely, and drove off onto the Romantic Road on our way to Rothenburg, Germany. While touristy, the town was ever-so-charming, and we certainly recommend it if Germany is on your travel list in the future. My parents' friends' recommendations (and Rick Steves', of course) have made our traveling (and eating!) easy and memorable.
From Rothenburg, we headed to Fussen and went to the Neuschwanstein Castle--the one that inspired the Disney Cinderella castle and the background for the movie Bambi; there is one wall in the king's concert hall that looks like the Bambi movie forrest, making that wall quite modern looking. However, the painting is much older than the Disney movie (late 1800s) and looked out of place to me among the other painted walls in the castle depicting battle scenes and religious images.
Tomorrow we'll head to Veronna, Italy to search for Romeo and Juliet. Having trouble with the hotel's computer picking up my camera, so we'll post pictures at the next computer (perhaps Veronna or Sunday back in Scandicci) that we come to...
