Lorsch for Christmas

January 16, 2026

The plan was crazy—spend Christmas and New Years together with friends in Germany. Do you know where Lorsch is?

The Lorsch Abbey is a UNESCO world heritage site. The local bar, on the other hand, is a smoking bar.

Germans celebrate Christmas Eve with a gathering of friends and family. Our adventure featured lots of meat and a Christmas tree or three

Hanging out with the extended family and walking between villages was a joy.

There was plenty of meat. Did we already mention that?

There was an abbreviated, yet memorable, side trip to Heidelberg.

Markus learned to shake.

And then there was the gig with Sidekick in Einhausen. Would you like some metal with that? Incidentally, though the violins were outnumbered, we did practice.

After a side trip to Berlin, we returned for Silvester.

Incredible fun.

Five showerheads for our visit to Lorsch. We will return.
