 Rothenburg
 This is a very cool town.  It's very well preserved, basically because they were too broke to update, and lucky that they mostly escaped damage from the world wars.

Not too certain about entering.

So glad to be out of the car.

We ate at this place on the way in.  It was oh so good.












Enjoying the Medieval torture museum.



Happy to be in time out because whining has become his very favorite thing to do on vacation.

Miniatures of various kinds of gallows...I wonder if it was a school project.

Fire



Sitting pretty on the wall of the original city.



Be Waaaarrrre.



Who isn't?
We had to jump a turnstile to get up to the top tower.  We got yelled at over an intercom.  But we were 2 minutes late...so we pretended we don't read German.

Aurelia stayed inside.
The view above.

The view below.










The night watchman who led our tour...pretty sure it was Eric Idle.  He was very funny.
You can buy a piece of the wall and have your name put on the section you "own".
Lincoln bought a pocket watch with his money.
It's a really neat town, very touristy, so there is a lot of people but also some good shopping.  If you ever go definitely stay for the Night Watchman's tour.
