We woke up at 6:45 which felt much too early, got ready and packed up our bags so they would be ready for checkout at 11:00am. We headed downstairs and found the dining roo with German buffet for breakfast. We were glad to have a full German breakfast… rolls, meats, cheese, cucumbers, fruit yogurt and juices. The owner of the hotel/restaurant came out and asked if we were from Utah. Chris answered that he was. The owner then said he had ancestors who left Germany and travelled to Utah, Salt Lake City and became Mormons. Are you Mormons?” We replied we were. “Can I show you something?” He brought out several pages of his genealogy with pictures of those that had migrated West. It was really fun to see. I think he hoped that we would recognize the names. He said he really wanted to meet some more of his family.
We ventured out to explore at about 8:30 heading straight for the wall.
Luke was so cute. As he walked along the wall, he paused at every small window to shoot a pretend arrow from his bow. It was really fun to watch.
A stop at the most picturesque spot in Rothenberg.
The boys really loved this armor and all the weapons on this corner. Then we went into a toy store on the corner, and Luke and Matt found a teddy bear who copied whatever you said. They COULD NOT stop laughing. It was pretty hysterical.
Months before heading on our trip, we put Matthew in charge of Rothenburg. One of the things he was in charge of finding was; a NUTCRACKER. He was pretty excited to spot them, and get his picture taken.
We went in some shops, tried to climb the highest tower --CLOSED : ( and then got gelato for the second time and ate it as we wandered down to the Rothenberg park at the end of the city.
At 11:00 we headed back to our cute hotel, brought our suitcases down and left the city. On to St. Leon…
