I’m not sure if you are into ‘trips down memory lane’, but I’m unexpectedly about to embark on one. You see, my dearest family decided that to reignite the somewhat faded “we are family” feeling, a trip with all my siblings to the lovely area near the German/Luxembourg border would be a great idea. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I received the email invitation last week: they picked Reinhardstein, a castle I visited as a 20-something-in-love.
Many years have passed, my life has changed profoundly, but still, revisiting this place that holds so many memories made me recall those “innocent and in love” years, a time when the future was yet unwritten and life was overflowing with possibilities. Some people advice against these ‘trips down memory lane’, as some precious memories are best left untouched. I’m not sure how I’ll feel when driving the 250 km to Reinhardstein,but if I only experience a fraction of the pure happiness when I first visited, it will be worth my time.
