My colleagues and I traveled down south into wine
country today to tour this monastery and winery
as part of a team-building excursion.
It dates back to the 1130's and is one of the most
well-kept monasteries in Germany, though it
hasn't been occupied by monks since 1803.
It was fun to explore and tour without the kids for a change
and I found lots of fun little doorways and passages,
an old hobby from my early travels throughout Europe.
Ironically, our tour guide hailed from Wisconsin
but has been living and working here for years.
