Kaiserslautern Day Tripper Weekend Edition Mar 6-8, 2020

***Mar 6-8, 2020***

March is here, but even more importantly, so is the WEEKEND 🙌!! I just love how March makes way for all the awesome springtime activities we love in Europe. This weekend, an Easter Market, a bike show, and an Early Spring Medieval Market will give you a head start on that “spring feeling.” So, if you aren’t going to let the cold and rain hamper your Meteorological Spring, then this POST IS FOR YOU!!

We’re doing a Landstuhl Castle tour this weekend. Say “hi” if you see us👋!

We have a new Weekend Edition pic. Guess where it’s from?

Los geht’s.
