Well, Saturday morning was a bit rough to start. Up too late and too many Jameson shots the night before. But we got up and went to explore Rothenburg, which is a city with a defensive wall. It was a lot bigger than I expected it to be. There are Houses, shops, restaurants, etc and people live there! There were people dressed up in mid-evil outfits and a lot of shows that happened as well.
It was very busy and we drove in circles trying to find parking. We went to the street to find something. A woman flagged us down and asked (in English) how long we would be there. We said a few hours, but were unsure of an exact time. She said she was having a good day and we could park in front of her garage as long as we didn’t stay overnight. We thanked her and took her up on the offer, and then she said, “My husband was American. I’ll tell you what I did to him.” Then she walked away. I think there was something lost in translation. Anyway, we parked in front of her garage and went to explore.
We were hungry when we got there, so we went straight to a restaurant. I got the spätzle, which was delicious. Unfortunately, my stomach was not happy with it, and we spent a good portion of the day searching for a restroom and a pharmacy. The pharmacy inside was closed, and we didn’t want to leave, so I grabbed a soda and the bubbles helped quite a bit. We wandered around and looked at the shops. They had a few Christmas shops that are famous and open year round. We then went to get some photos by the wall (luckily, someone the people who took us there had been there before and knew where to go!). We tried to go to the torture museum, but it was closed. We got a picture out front and then headed back to Stuttgart.
That night, we ??
