Two days ago, I was fortunate enough to have my grandfather take me on a short walking tour of his birth city, Worms (Germany). With more than a third of the city destroyed during the war, much of the city was rebuilt, including my grandfather´s childhood house. Just as we got to the city, I decided I would try (as best as I could) to re-create some of his favorite memories through-out the city . Here are four of my favorite locations (black and white photographs courtesy of my grandfather):
The Martin Luther Memorial: 2009, 1940´s, and 1928.
The Siegfried Stone: 1944 (my grandfather is on the right) and 2009.
Standing on the side steps of the Worms Cathedral: 1938-1939 and 2009
The Siegfried fountain: 1940´s and 2009
Hi there B.P.Chica,
Such a lovely story to hear that you hooked up with your grandfather to walk around. It must have been exciting to visit those places and love the pics!
Also, have a great RTW trip and Happy New Year 2010!
