| 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.
