Along the Romantic Road were quaint and picturesque little towns. None
prepared us for the amazing and wonderful medieval town above the Tauber
river: Rothenberg ob der Tauber.Along the Romantic Road were quaint and picturesque little towns. None

Talk about inspiration for Disneyland! Block after block of restored
medieval houses, churches, castles, walls and gardens! I could walk for
hours!
I cannot go on long enough about how wonderful this place is....even
though 40% of the town was lost to British air raids in WWII, the restoration
job is tremendous. It puts any other historic town I've been in to shame.

Hey kids! This shop window had little animals dancing and trains going around!
This bear was yelling, "Hey Biz and Alex...find a teddy bear and hug it tonight. Pretend it is your Daddy."
It's off to bed now. Grandpa and I are going to really walk around Rothenberg
tomorrow and then go on to Munich. We plan on spending Wednesday and Thursday
nights in Munich and Friday night in Heidelberg. Then it off to Frankfurt
for Saturday and home Sunday!
