Second train. Heading north. There is frosty snow on the ground and some of the small ponds are frozen over. Train is smaller.

I guess they didn’t get the message about not putting the church and cemetery on the hill above town. Isn’t that the way cholera is spread?

A walled city. Easy walking around but chilly. It snowed last night here but it’s all melted.
The house has a grain loft. In a walled city, it was important that every home had a stock of enoughLäs mer
Resenär So . . . I guess that the door and hoist at the roof is the grain loft you talked about? Keep it high so it can't be stollen? What do they do with the spaces now days?
1 Planet 1 Bag High to keep it dry also. And people don’t live in the attic so much. I haven’t done the town tour, that’s tomorrow, so I will ask.

These schneeballen (snowballs) are famous in winter here in Rothenburg. This one is covered in powdered sugar. Not sweet on the inside. Actually I’m grateful for the coffee as it is also a littleLäs mer
1 Planet 1 Bag I bought an ear warmer that just goes around my head. Not needed anything else. Tonight I’m going to a special dinner and will walk. I will add my heavier coat. I’ve been fine with just my puffy so far. I suspect it will snow tonight.

I’ve come here for a winter dinner and music. It will all be German with few people who speak English. I had a similar adventure in Norway and it was interesting. Way out of my comfort zone, butLäs mer

I have no idea on the German food front, where the vegetables went? I haven’t seen a green veg in days. Come to think of it there is no salt and pepper and ketchup comes only in little packets.Läs mer
Resenär I heard there is enough vitamin C in catchup to prevent scurvy, also just ask for a lemon in your G&T.....
1 Planet 1 Bag G&T isn’t a good idea. I tried it and it was 10 euros for the gin and 10 euro for the tonic. Haufbrau is 5.50. I went with the beer next time.

Turns out the pope stayed in Rothenburg as a student learning German. He stayed with a host family. I wonder what my international students will become?

My first high speed train. Not near as high speed as the ones in Sweden. More like an express with few stops. The first class car sure looks nice and there is free Wifi and a restaurant car.
