SORRY.

Now that we are in Poland, Rachel and I have had some time to reflect upon our experiences in Germany. The one that continues to stand out for us happened in the small town of Wittenberg, which we visited on the fifth day of our stay in Germany.

While our tour guide discussed the architecture of one particular building in the historic section of town, including one of the more offensive structures/markers we saw on our trip, we found a placard that our tour guide was unfamiliar with.

It was clear this small sign was placed by an individual (and not an official entity), but no information was provided.

Of course, not much was needed. As our entire group stood around this sign we all laughed and figured this summed up most of our experience in Germany. As you can imagine, this became the mantra for the remainder of our trip.
