Rothenburg

Today we docked in Wurzburg then traveled to Rothenburg.  It is a medieval village which has a famous Christmas shop.

We tried some bratwurst and snowballs which is a local pastry delicacy.  They were both quite yum.

After a walking tour thru the village we all went our separate ways.  Scott and I went into the Crime and Punishment museum. 

It was way better then the last torture museum we went into.  Took heaps of pictures in there.

Was amazed by the amount of solar farms and solar panels on the houses and the large wind turbines throughout  the state.  Four of the wind turbines can power 6000 houses for a year.

Everyones getting sick on the boat so we are taking tomorrow off.  Scotts been coughing a fair bit so I'll be pampering him tomorrow.

I'm just sitting here, with a glass of the wine they gave us for our anniversary.  I'm loath to mention that I've mixed it with orange juice to make it drinkable.
