Musicians, Romantic Road, Germany. We stopped along the Romantic Road bus tour just long enough to see these musicians packing up their gear. They kindly posed for a picture in their colorful traditional costumes. The tour was a way to see a lot of the middle of Germany in a short time, but this was one of the few moments when I got to connect, even briefly, with locals. Because of this experience I decided, "No more big bus tours for me -- there are better ways to travel!"
