Sunday Biking
The bikes were fixed and that weather was perfect so we went on a great bike ride last sunday and enjoyed the germany countryside!
Nurnburg
Last Saturday we went the Nurnburg - mainly to go to the Jack Wolfskin store...but there was also a market going on in the square - so we did some local shopping and picked up a few things!
Kids posing on one of the many bridges leading to the square.
Yep it was raining on and off all day - those rain jacket we bought last month are sure coming in handy!
The girls on another bridge.
I got a cool new basket at the marked for the low price of 5 euros - we are trying to go native!
Sophie finding something hanging from the ceiling really exciting - she hooked up with some groovy slippers and Wolfgang finally got a pocket watch - so he is all about what time it is now.
Jeff doing some wet shopping.

Sunday's in Germany are very low-key. Nothing is open (by law) except maybe the occasional Guesthouse. Most folks relax on Sunday and take long walks or bike rides. We decided to embrace the local customs and took a stroll thru the local castle in the town we currently are living in - Litchenau
Sophies bike was the only one that made it out of hold baggage unscathed. So she got to ride while the rest of us walked since our bikes were in the shop!!
This was the church right outside the walls of the castle.

Wurzburg
Since we still don't have a home - or our stuff...we have been trying to get out as much as possible on the weekends. This was a day trip we took to Wurzburg. Luck was on our side and there was a street festival going on! It was a fun day.

This guy was also on the bridge - yes those are fish he is cooking and yes people were buying and eating them!!!

Seasoned travelers.
This is the Residence in Wurzburg - we did not get a chance to go in but we walk all around the gardens - which were amazing. My photos do not do it justice!
I loved the pointy trees.

Rothenburg
Rothenburg is one of our favorite little towns in Germany. It is also the most photographed town in Germany. Here are some photos of a trip we made a few weeks ago - sorry the photos are not so good - they were taken with my phone :)
This is the most photographed spot in Germany!!
Walking the outer wall of the city.
Wolfgang out in front of St. Wolfgang's Church - it is really OLD and built right into the wall that circles the town.
