Rothenburg ob der Tauber

We spent three days last week in the medieval walled city of  Rothenburg ob der Tauber in Bavaria, south central Germany! It was the perfect place to be in the last few days before Christmas. We stayed in two different hotels, over 600 years old!
   We mostly walked around and shopped and tried out different German foods! We bought last minute Christmas gifts, ate cheese and wine, had Gluhwein at the Christmas market there and took a ton of pictures! I'll let the pictures do most of the talking....Stu the first few are for you, we thought of you the minute we saw this shop window!

I wanted to take a picture of my dad in front of this meat shop but this lady was standing there too, so my dad just put his arm around her and smiled, she was so cute! She thought it was so funny!

This is for you Stu! Wow, you walked into this place and your nose and taste buds were in Heaven immediately!

The meat shop is just to the left of this jeep, you can see the little elderly woman already standing in front of it. Isn't it just the most picturesque village street!

Many of you have seen this street and scene before, it's a pretty famous picture/street. A famous street in Rothenburg called Plönlein with Koboldzellersteig and Spitalgasse. (wikipedia.com)

After a long day of exploring and walking around, we picked up the essentials and headed back to our hotel for a snack before dinner...fresh bread, cheese (only the stinkiest will do), salami, and wine!
We walked out to a tip of the city that overhangs the valley below (the river Tauber runs there) and were able to see this view of the city in the fog and snow; with the faint bright colors of the houses and buildings, it was beautiful!

It was a great trip!
