What a nice way to start the week! Chocolate. With my cup of coffee in hand and my Brötchen mit Schokolade I am ready to face the world, well at least the laundry!
So we had a pretty good weekend. Friday we walked into Nürnberg for dinner and found a quaint little place along the river for some good Tia food (well is sounded good- and it was). We walked around looking for my Gummi Steifels (rubber boots) It has been raining a lot here and I didn't bring any thinking it would be more fun to buy them when I got here. Weird I can't seem to find them anywhere in this town. They were all over Dusseldorf...I bought 3 pair last time grrr. So that is on my list to keep hunting for! I like a challenge.
Saturday we got up and headed into IKEA for a few household items. When we returned we walked into Old Town to find a few of the landmarks. We started at the main Castle. First we ate next to the castle - Nürnberg is know for their sausage so we had to have that as well some AMAZING Cheese Spätzle I do mean amazing. They brought some yummy huge pretzels while we drank our beer and waited for lunch. Oh so good. After that we headed up to the castle and I mean up it was a heck of a walk. Then over to the Albrecht Dürer Haus (from 1471-1520, the most famous artist of the German Renaissance, which represented the renewal of cultural territory outside of Italy.)

Then off to the Toy Museum, the Main Market, Milch Kaffee break and then back towards home. A frozen pizza for dinner, a bottle of Chianti and a place to raise our feet!
Sunday we watched our church service -streaming on the internet and then headed out for a sasual walk around the Old Nazi party rally grounds - Reichsparteitagsgelände, literally: Reich Party Congress Grounds) We walked from the Stands to the Document Center and then around the lake to were we started. It was very interesting as well as eerie. We then headed back home to drop off the camera and walk back yes back into town for "real" pizza. We stopped in a wonderful little place and had Pils, brochette, and pizza, finished off with coffee and tiramisu! Anther great travel day.

Map of the Rally Grounds. It was a beautiful walk but amazingly strange at the same time. So much history and to be walking in it just seemed amazing.
