📍 Mannheim Hbf Other · Mannheim, Baden-Württemberg, DE I am attempting to go to the village where my mom grew up. Limburgerhof is the exact stop that has construction. I will likely do a lot of extra walking today. https://beaconbits.app/beacon/2cxgdrgtsmrbqnjkwyplmp43/3mka4xepfi227 #BeaconBits

Thanks for making it there and posting photos. Reminds me of my Saturday chores in my teens. Watering grave sites and raking the pathways in the cemetery, a quiet refuge from a busy household, with time to think and have imaginary talks with departed relatives.
