I have been to the card museum. Deutsches Spielkartenmuseum. I feel like I have made a pilgrimage. It was fantastic. I bought many decks of cards (1-2-3-many-lots!) and only spent about 60 Euros. How is that? The lady working was so sweet and gave me a magazine and booklet about the displays- in German, but said though I couldn't read them I would find them interesting. She was just so wonderful. She also made sure I had pamphlets and things. They change the display every year. And so I would SO like to return. It has been here for thirty years. Can you believe that? I got all done and came outside to wait for my ride and was thinking about it. It is a free museum. I would gladly pay a fiver to go there again. So I went back downstairs and asked her if I could make a donation, to make sure they were still here should I return someday. She asked me to sign the guestbook with all the nice things I said to her about the place.
Other people go to Lourdes. I make my pilgrimage to the Cards.
I'm really glad I went. :) read more
