I’m on an August Break from my regular blogging schedule. Here’s today’s picture.

I love the longer days during the summer. This picture of my street was taken at around quarter to nine in the evening.

Do you prefer longer days or shorter days?

I’m on an August Break from my regular blogging schedule. Here’s today’s pictures.

In Germany, business put up flags. Often, they’re in groups of three. I thought this was interesting when I first got here, but I’ve since gotten used to it. It doesn’t matter what kind of business- I’ve seen the flags for clothing stores, bakeries, machine work shops, and more. Here’s two examples.

I see this vintage bus around town sometimes. I thought at first that it was used exclusively as a schoolbus, but those are labelled differently. Now, I’m not so sure.

What do you think this bus is used for?

The Altstadt is full of cobblestone and tiny alleyways. This sort of view? It’s an everyday sight here.

Regensburg is fairly popular with tourists. Besides having a first rate Dom and a great Stone Bridge that has been in use since the Crusades. We’re also on the Donau river, and the river tour boats like to stop here, so it’s not uncommon to see tour groups in the Altstadt on weekends.

There’s also this, the city tour. I went on it once- It was interesting, but not the sort of thing I’d bother doing over again. It’s fun to see this winding its way through the city on weekends though- if you hang out for a while, you’ll see it two or three times in a day.
