Germany Day 15

It seems like we live on the bus these days, but we had a good time today  We got up, ate breakfast and left the hotel by 8 AM.   We rode for about 2 hours to Rothenburg.  This town was really great little town.  They had a lot of great shops with Christmas ornaments and cute items.  We spent a good hour walking around and looking and then sat and ate a croissant and a coffee.  

On the hour they had this completely corny thing whee these dolls poke out of a building and pretend to drink a beer.  It goes back to something that may or may not have happened years ago where a army commander told the mayor he wouldn't destroy the town if someone could drink a liter of beer in one go - so the guy did and saved the town.  Now ever hour on the hour a fake doll pops out and drinks a beer - it is the corniest thing EVER.

As we were leaving the town we realized we missed the absolutely best street -- I wish we would have had another 30 minutes to walk down that street - ah well.

We then rode down a bunch of back roads and saw some gorgeous country side before landing in Munich.   We got to our rooms and headed to dinner.   Dinner was nice and now we are back at the hotel getting ready to go to sleep.     So another fairly lite day - honestly I didn't know Germany was big enough to have us in the bus this much, it seems we've crossed the entire country twice, lol :)
