Settled in Wolfenbüttel

We spent a night in Dusseldorf and are now settled in Ben and Shana's home town of Wolfenbüttel, Germany.  We've had no internet access and don't expect any soon.

Hope you all have a merry Christmas!

I'll try to do some more photos if I can find a WiFi point.

Hog mask

From the torture museum in Rothenburg. In medieval times, they would
make you wear this mask if you acted up, or if you were very awesome.

Train window

View looking out the train window going from Nurmburg to Rothenburg.
You can see Gwenda and Dennis in the reflection. It is shockingly cold
and snowing. Daylight only lasts 8am through 4pm. We're having a great
time!

Update

We have made it to Rothenburg ob der Tauber in Germany.  It is now about 1PM.  We are staying in a hotel and town with little or no internet access, and we will be here for three nights.  The hotel is Hotel Gothisches Haus.

 

Look for photo updates in a few days.
