Sun!


After four days of rain and cool weather the sun has returned! It was a particularly beautiful day in Nuremberg today--blue skies and a high around 73. Perfect weather for being a tourist.

We climbed the hill to the castle just inside the walls of the old city; wandered around the plazas, small streets, and bridges of the city; watched/listened to the noontime gig of the town glockenspiel; and strolled through the open-air market.

The find of the day was gingerbread bought at a stand in the market--it's one thing Nuremberg is known for. It was less cake-like and more cookie-like than the Dromedary gingerbread cake mix we grew up with. Delicious.

Ah, but did you get any Kuchen? You'll probably have to cut & paste this, since I am stretching my electronic capabilities by posting comments here.
