Medieval Times

The adventure today took us to Rothenburg and Dossenhiem. Rothenburg is tourist city that has embraced it's medieval roots. You can walk the battlement wall. Mom, Dada and I walked around the entire city. The views to the valley were beautiful. The leaves are beginning to change. We went to St. Jakobs's church. The church is known for the wooden alters. They are very detailed carvings. Another stop found us in the the criminal museum. This museum contains the history of torture during these times. Holy crap. The person or persons that came up with these devices and techniques were very twisted.

We went to a local festival at night in Dossenhiem. We saw the beginnings of a bachelor party. The groom and friends were dressed in tux and top hats carrying a funeral pire. The proceeded through the street.

Things of note:
German showers suck. They are water conservative nation. The showers last approximately 60 seconds before automatically turning off.
The popular hair color is purple.
German ice cream IS awesome
German pretzels are AWESOME
