This beautiful walled city dates back to the 7th century. Rothenburg will be one of those towns that we will come back to again and again. We can't wait to have family and friends come visit so we can show them around.
We stayed in a nice little hotel with a view of the wall that surrounds most of the city.
The "double beds" are typical of what you will find with separate duvets and the top sheet is missing.
We had all we needed with the tiny closet and a sparse bathroom.
Dave is always drawn into a nice toy store. Here he found a Niffler made by Steiff. It looks a little too similar to his design that he made for Universal, HMMM? In the toy business they always say copying is a sincere form of flattery.
Some odd looking Harry Potter Plush, not up to PlayVisions standards!!
In all fairness Joanne, didn't eat all of that burger and fries. We all "helped" her.
Each night, starting at the town square a Night Watchman gives people a tour of the old town and the history of the city. He did a great job and it was a lot of fun.
I might have a Haribo problem...
We enjoy traveling with the Koeglers.
Lots of beautiful scenery from the wall of the city as we walked around it.
We have seen so many different Schwibbogen or arches in our travels and at the many Christmas Markets. But this one spoke to us when we saw it in Rothenburg. It is simple but so beautiful.
Here it is displayed in the apartment. We love this new addition to our Christmas décor.
When we travel, my phone and random benches often become my office. Mission presidents and missionaries keep me quite busy. It's all good though, it's nice to have a portable office.
As we walked the wall around the city, we noticed these cutouts at various points. They were holes for the archers to have a good shot at the enemy and at the same time stay protected.
The town square.
