Rothenburg

The medieval city of Rothenberg is the most famous city in Germany. It’s a city that’s rich in medieval history and still ha displays or performances, if you will, of these events and practices. Every night there’s a tour of the night watchmen that happens, however we haven’t had the chance to go, so we’re not entirely sure what this is about. But the title of the tour sure sounds fun :)

The first time we went, it was right at the sun was going down. We drove into the town and decided to walk to this really great sushi restaurant that John loves. We went on a Tuesday night, and unfortunately this was the ONLY night this place was closed. So we walked around town and found a little bar to get some bar food in.


The second time we went was when we were house sitting for Tony & Katrin. John got off work and I had a lunch (that turned into dinner due to work) packed. We took our two favorite dauschaunds, Oscar & Bucky, to this beautiful park John surprised me with. We sat right at the city walls in this gorgeous park as the sun went down. So we had a really romantic dinner of ham sandwiches, Doritos, on a blanket in the park.


This trip we also took a moment to browse through the Christmas shop that’s famous in this town. It was fantastic! I went in with my eyes as wild as a child waiting to see Santa. I was so excited to see all the lights and ornaments.


Then we went around the town to do some shopping. Here's some photos of the "downtown" shopping district.


We also saw a horse and buggy tour ... just had to snap a photo of that ...


We stopped for a bite to eat, and I got an apple struddle and John got a Bailey's and Coffee.


These are called Snowballs. They're famous of Rothenburg, and you can only find them here. We got one, but ended up not eating it :(
