Rothenberg, Germany, Thursday, Sept. 12, 2013

WOW
These places just keep getting and better!  I LOVED Bacharach, but Rothenberg is truly superb !  This is a walled medieval town and has the best shopping we have seen yet..... Not that we have been looking ;-). 
Checking out fonts...hmmmmm
Hmmmmm... Old standby!
Had a nice bus ride from Bacharach to Rothenberg this morning. Got here about noonish.  Found an adorable authentic restaurant for lunch then Sue and I split from the fellas and went our own wayward ways.  I was on a mission to find a watch !  I know, I know, this watch lady without a watch you ask?  Yuppers..... I not only broke my alarm clock, the watch strap on my good watch bit the dust for the third time and the brand new watch I bought quit working... So if course had to go find one that works.  Now in The European cities we have been into so Farsi not believe in big stores but family owned small places if business. Keeps them operational. Smart actually.  You can find a separate store for just about anything.  Although both Sue and I have been looking for a water bottle.  They keep telling us they're in the cooler. A North American thing I'm told.  Ah when in Munich we' ll look.  
We had another delightful meal... Jumped into the first place we could find to get out of the rain...actually had veggies....what a treat!  Carbs and protein!  No dieting here!  But....having said that I dint think I have seen an overweight person yet except tourists!!!!! Imagine, maybe there is something hidden here... Must investigate. 
Went to the town centre at 8:00pm and met up with a lively gentleman from medieval times called the "night watchman". Third from the bottom of the food chain as he likes to tell it!!!
We had an interesting walking tour if the city with about a hundred if his closest other friends
The rooms have been incredible and different and charming and we left the elevators behind after the second stay!  Today we hiked a bit up!  
It is still raining. We are all running out of winter clothes!  There were a few who ventured out this morn in shorts and sandals!  I have to admit I went the sandal route as well!
We have heard from Darlane and John and they are so close in Koblenz but we are heading in opposite directions!   Was fun to hear about their experiences in Germany as well.  I honestly did not know what to expect and have been so tickled at all the wondrous things we've seen and done so far.  As you can probably tell I am feeling much better today. My rest yesterday made all the difference.
Wifi acting up so going to go. If spellcheck has intervened hope u can figure things out!
Gooten nicht
Xoxo
