A side trip to Nurnburg


Nurnburg is also one of the large city stops on the tour of the Romantic Road. We took a train - an hour long trip one way- there this morning to spend the day amongst more castels, pubs, old buildings and cobblestone paths. We had a lovely day and topped it off eating at one of the eateries where we chose something from the menu that Gerhard, even with his great German, couldn't understand. Well it WAS the special of the day, so I had it. I still couldn't tell you what it was that I ate - or rather that I made Gerhard eat most of. I ate his meatball thingys in a red sauce that was so hot that he didn't really like.
It was rainy drizzley for most of the day but not snowy. We did pass some snow covered fields on our way while through the country but all the cities generally have rain. We trained it back by 5 and went for groceries. Now we are trying to get some computer stuff taken care of before we leave again for a place that may not have computers, tv's or phones as is the case in our present pension. Such is a great way to get away from Karneval.
