With being in lab all day and watching football games all night, it has been getting harder and harder to keep up with this blog. I apologize for disappearing, but better late than never!
In the short time I’ve been in Würzburg, I have had more long weekends than we have all semester in Texas. Last weekend (June 6th-8th) was yet another long weekend, and we had Monday off. Germans sure love celebratin’ everything.
That Sunday, I took a boat trip to Veitshöchheim with Annie (my roommate – aka my “pride and joy”) and Sophia to see the Rococo Gardens.

Veitshöchheim is a municipality in the district of Würzburg. According to Wikipedia, it’s ~6 km northwest of Würzburg. The city certainly has its charm. It was a tiny touristy town, with colorful houses that look like dollhouses. Veitshöchheim is also home to Schloss Veitshöchheima, which was the summer palace of the prince-bishops of Würzburg.

The Rococo Gardens were absolutely beautiful. The best way to describe them would be walking through the Hedge Maze from Harry Potter. I have been more impressed by the Court Gardens in (and around) Würzburg than the palaces themselves.
Fun fact about Veitshöchheim: Gelato is cheaper here in comparison to Würzburg.
