Willkommen in Deutschland!

Nach dem Deutschkurs ich bin mit meinem Vater nach Rothenburg gefahren. After my Deutschkurs today, my dad and I drove north-west toward Germany, to Rothenburg, od. Tabor, which is one of the best preserved medieval towns in Germany. I slept a good portion of the way, which seems to be habit when I am riding in a motor vehicle. The drive was nice though, and included a few stops for fresh air and to enjoy the sun.

When we arrived in Rothenburg, we were surprised to find that the correct entrance to the town was through what looked like a castle entrance. The city wall is still standing!

After checking in at the Jungenherberge (hostel), and making our beds, we wandered through the town, exploring the various streets and alleys, and listened to an organ player practice from outside a huge gothic church. The town was pretty quiet tonight, I guess the cold and dark night was keeping people inside. After a while it got the better of us as well, and we found a hotel restaurant to enjoy some hot pumpkin soup and creme brûlée!

Tomorrow we pick up my mom in Frankfort, and continue our Germany adventure. Bis morgen.
