[MR] Atlantia Digest, Vol 199, Issue 14

[Heike kubasch]

Great post about the abbey. I have been watching a German series set in Quedlinburg. The medieval and renaissance architecture in the region is amazing. Bruce & I often pause while we are watching to admire the scenery. The Harz is also the home of the legendary Brocken.

BTW, I will be in California from 8/26-9/9.

Heike
