On Sunday, June 28, our group went to
Rothenburg ob der Tauber, a famous medieval town in Middle Franconia. It was really lovely and every corner was picturesque, but at the same time somewhat unsettling, because it was apparent that the entire town's livelihood depended on tourism. In that way, the town felt kind of dead, but well-preserved, like a mausoleum.
Coming in through the Gallows Gate.
"Schneeballen," or snowballs, are the traditional pastry here. Basicaly, they're fried balls of dough, dusted with powdered sugar or anything else you might like. I had one, and it wasn't that good, but I think the one I had might have been a bit stale.
Kittehs!!!!!!!~~~:D :D :D
Cute little house. Dr. Suess took us on a 3.5 hour tour of the city, and we started by walking around some of the old city walls.
Beautiful St. James church.
The gorgeous Tilman Riemenschneider tryptic in the rear of the church.
View from the tower on City Hall, which we climbed.
More Schneeballs!
Group picture!
Gate to the gardens, in the area where the castle once stood.
Inside the torture museum.
An iron maiden.
Inside the Christmas museum/store.
