Saturday October 23, 1999 Würzburg, Germany! Amsterdam Edition

In October and a few of us from the University went to Würzburg, Germany to meet with colleagues from the University of Würzburg. Between meetings we had some time to look around the town. A medium sized town of about 120000 people it is located along the Main River in the northern part of Bavaria. We even got a chance to sample some of the local wines that the region is known for.
