While cruising the Rhine River, all the Medieval towns began to look alike. The Market Square in Miltenberg, however, stood out due to the lovely colorful half-timbered houses and shops along the High Street.
Lots of small shops with fairly priced goods made for a fun stroll -
Dave even purchased a hat and Joanne found a few things too.
I think Dave looks pretty handsome in his new hat!
Dave couldn't resist getting a picture of this statue outside the Water Closet.
Joanne is especially fascinated with the beautiful doors and their unique hardware.
We'll need to devote a full post on just doors ....
Cobblestone streets and half timbered houses, and lots of fun shops to stroll in and out of
made this a most enjoyable trip. Not to mention the great company of Carol and Brent Snow
St Jakobus Catholic Church was adorned with lots of cute little cherubs. But we noticed the lack of reverence to the Savior.
These pictures are from the Toni Sauer website ... no snow when we visited.
On our way home we stopped at the Toni Sauer store in Johannesberg. Several carvers from around the area are commissioned to have their work sold under this roof. The craftsmanship was top notch and we ended up purchasing the ornaments for our grandkids here.
Brent Snow was telling Dave he had some carvings of Moroni but he thought he was kidding.
Next thing he knew he was upstairs admiring his work and picking out one for his collection.
He has a very prominent place of Dave's desk.
