While in the military I spent two years stationed outside Stuttgart Germany, where I was given the opportunity to spend my weekends as a tourist. One of the first things I did was buy a cheap car, of which turned out to be the first of many. My friends and I did a lot of touristing. We created memories impossible to forget.

I have walked or driven through a number of arches such as the one depicted in this ink and colored pencil drawing.

My guess is most of these charming little towns are timeless, and look very similar today.
