Living Museum

It is not that often that you get a chance to go back in time... but in
Rothenburg ob da Tauber you have the chance to see a medieval city with original city walls, dungeons, castle, cathedral and lots of old (and touristy) shops. Another plus was that it is more-less on the way from Munich to Nuremberg and... my friend James and his family from Ireland were on vacation in this area... at the same time when I was passing through! I am still amazed about this big of a coincidence! Even if you wanted to plan something like that you know that it would never work.... impressive :o)

And to complete the list of coincidences... there was an American big band from Iowa on their European tour playing at the main square.

Even though this was my third time there it seems like this city has lots of surprises left for me :o)


While his little kids Toby and Zara were exploring the medeival town James and his wife were enjoying some of the local specialties... like 'snowballs'. This might be the driest Danish you ever have eaten in your entire life! So another great reason (beside James) to visit this fantastic city.

My parents were delighted when I bought three snowballs for them ;-)
