located on a mountain, next to a town. But below the mountain was a lso
a town called Idar-Oberstien, its actually 2 towns in one, Idar and then
Oberstien. My post was located above the town of Oberstien.
Everything that you find ina a small city or town outside a Military
Post usually is low budget, meaning they base the businesses on what
they thing the soldiers wanted. I just found this out, like 3 years
after I did... we will get to that later on. No, wait. Fort Sill
Oklahoma, the town of Lawton, very cheesy. Nothing but bars and strip
clubs, very dangerous. But not Idar-Oberstein. But let me tell you about
the Germans first.
They, for the most part are very clean. The towns are clean, and their
cars are ultra clean. There was a parade in the town one day, and there
were houses shitting everywhere in the parade. There was nothing BUT
horses, I think the parade was for horses. I stayed and watched for a
while, and I walked to the beginning of it. All the horse do do, it was
everywhere. I went into a pub to have a beer, then came out and walked
back to the end of the parade. Like all that shit was gone, no traces of
it anywhere. These Germans do not play, clean streets !! On saturdays,
you see home owners outside of their buildings scrubbing their
sidewalks.
One thing the town is famous for, and I don't know if its world famous
either, The Church in The Rocks. This church was carved out of the side
of the mountain. I never did get a chance to go and explore this. I
guess its because since I was stationed there, the town became like my
second home. When I'm in New York, where I live, I don't do the touristy
type stuff. You know, The Empire State Building, Times Square 42nd
Street, you know that stuff. So it made no mind to me to go and visit.
But there we're all kinds of stuff to do and get into trouble with. Oh
boy trouble, it was here that I would find it...... and have the most
fun.
