the streets of Rothenburg
inside the Kaethe Wohlfahrt store before we saw the "no pictures" sign
in front of the Kaethe Wohlfahrt store and Christmas Museum
"Christmas Village"
a Nutcracker--this one is a night Watchman, just like our tour....
cute Christmas ornament to remind us of our trip.
the town was decorated for Easter
the Rathaus (city hall) at Markt Platz (Market Square)
beautiful view from the wall looking out
there were many old houses
at dinner Saturday night
cool paintings on the wall
hanging out waiting for our Night Watchman tour to start
the much-awaited Night Watchman
8:00 pm chimes on the city clock building
Rothenburg at night--outside one of the 6 gates
view from one part of the wall to another part of the city
"Markusturm" Gate near our hotel
Easter morning
all dressed up
We attended service at St. Jacob's Church, with the famous Holy Blood Altar
roof top view of the city from our walk on the wall
a canon--inside the wall
pretty view of the city
walking inside the wall.... the slightest of baby bumps showing :-)
still walking around the city wall
Spargelzeit (asparagus season) has begun! We had the white asparagus for Sunday lunch
in the stocks outside the Criminal (and medieval torture) museum
the instruments of torture were a little much for Christy but she liked the shame masks
the Schneeball, or "snowball" is the dessert of choice
David enjoying his schneeball
there was a special Easter dance in the Markt Platz, complete with sheep
the flowers were in full bloom
in front of our hotel

"Christmas Village"our purchases.... the store was conveniently tourist-oriented, so we were finally able to get our window candle piece in 110 volts. We had held off at the Christmas markets in December since Port of Spain is 110 volts like the U.S. and all we could get there was 220, but the wait paid off. It fulfilled our second goal of finding a nice manger scene.

That was it.... an easy drive back Sunday evening, and then we had all Monday to relax. We went to the Marine House for an afternoon BBQ to celebrate the Gunny's birthday, and Christy made pie in the afternoon (see previous blog). Now, time to get back to work!
