Now times your heart: Who knows the above city? No one?
Well, now I should give a speech, that some should be ashamed of it, but I myself have also only a about 3 days out of it. Vincennes is in fact the American sister city of Wasserburg / Inn. If one direction of the old town runs Burgau is right after the petrol station Fellner a plaque on the Vincennes is listed. I'm 1,000 times driven past this sign and got it but never really considered. And Day, the city only 3 hours away from St. Louis, I thought to myself, to postpone the visit to St. Louis for a day at our 'Sister C ity' to visit. These were a small town in which the size is comparable to Wasserburg. When I got there I was only shocked because it looked at first like e
in large highway rest stop, but the further one in the town itself was all the more faded away d he impression. First I went to the tourist office, where I read give me a map of attractions. Thus equipped, I went to the Memorial of General George Rogers Clark , who had played a very important role here. His monument was, like many in the States, in Greek style. Subsequently, I visited the house of the governor and future President William Henry Harrison which Made history as he died just a month after his inauguration, of pneumonia. The abduction of his house Grouseland was one of the best I've seen so far. Since I was the only visitor, the guide was very detailed and humorous guide spoke very clearly to my luck, so I knew pretty much what he told me. Because of the inside of the house unfortunately no photos were allowed to be made, I came back to the offer of the leader and bought in the souvenir shop of the museum 8 postcards with photos of the premises at the unbeatable price of 1 $. The cards are also almost historic, as it were, on the degree of Yellowing derived, probably shot as the one loaf of bread was still for 10 pfennig. When I left the museum, it was already close to 17 ° ° Clock and not what I thought until just before 16 ° ° Clock. I 
had my clock set forward to the St. Louis-time and not realize that I ride on the back to Vincennes had overstepped the time limit. Thus, the museums were all unfortunately just before the close. I'm looking at my schedule for a sight that was not possible in a building but outside in order to avoid the opening period. I find it was something outside of the city. I did not know what it would be at Fort Knox 2, wanted to find it though. crossing after just 20 minutes I reached it and was pretty disappointed. What it was looking I still do not but I have found only a piece of freshly cut grass, on which stood a flagpole and some panels. Not even rotting remains of the fort were gone and so I left pretty quickly on the back of the St. Louis. Photos I did not, for this I might need to catch up with on each X-any green space. After a further 3-hour drive I arrived just in front of St. Louis, where I only have to feed quickly and took care of what a motel. Then back to another time n
