Rothenburg ob der Tauber

This city... wow.  It was just incredible.  It's a beautifully preserved midevil city surrounded by a city wall.  It was so interesting walking around the city.  It's not very big so we were able to see a lot of it.  I felt like we had gone back in time.

There were flowers everywhere.

We visited a bakery for breakfast.

This is the center of the city.  There were tons of little shops and museums and resaurants.  

We visited this Christmas store.  After I took a few pictures I saw a "no pictures" sign.  Oops.  It was really cool, even in July.  We even bought a cute little Christmas tree ornament.

I told Jude to go stand by the knight so I could take a picture.  He felt it necessary to make a "knight face" to go along with it.  Nailed it.

And another one.

Then he coached his little sister through making a "knight face".  I mean, does it get any cuter??

This is one of the city gates and watchtower behind it.

I took a little stroll up on the city wall.  This is the view from up there.

Walking along the wall. 

A cool clock in the middle of town.

A cute little hotel sign.

Another view from the city wall.

This was one of my very favorite places.  It was magical and whimsical and just awesome.
