Hanging Out at The Wartburg
June 22nd, 2006
OK, so here is your humble blogger in the room at the Wartburg Castle where Luther translated the New Testament into German, among other things he did while in "exile" there after the Diet of Worms, from 1521-1522. Love being blind, my wife and parents may not notice the fact that all I see when I look at the picture is a middle-aged, balding, pudgy guy holding a big old honkin’ camera. Beauty, of course, is in the eye of the beholder. The portrait over my left shoulder is an original Cranach, of Luther, as "Knight George."

What a great place to be! Did you climb the stairs? We were there 2 years ago on a Luther Tour with the folks from Trinity Frankfurt. The towns in the area you’re in now are some of my favorite places in Germany.
