10.5.15 Rothenberg

Today was a much warmer day especially if standing in the sun. We chose the Rothenberg excursion . It's another well preserved medieval city and extremely picturesque. It's also become ground zero for stores specializing in Christmas ornaments.

 

 

 

Most of you probably know that Joseph is a great collector of Christmas ornaments which is perfectly fine by me. It's a creative outlet for him plus it gives him a chance to reminisce about past Christmases and past travels. The rest of the year he is like me and not prone to having knick knacks and clutter around the house. For some reason the spirit didn't move him and he only bought one ornament.

We were pleased that for the most part the town was very quiet. Off season for tourists.

The surrounding wall and city left intact for the most part. Rebuilt from public donations.

The brothel built outside the city walls.
