Enough life questions....... how about the trip???

Ok I know I have been a little melancholy about life, love, and the mystery of life so now it is time to get focused again on the purpose of the blog. TO SHOW PICTURES...........


The tour's first stop was in the city of Rotenburg ob do Tauber. This city is located in the Bavarian region of Germany.


The town is actually located on the top of a mount overlooking the Tauber River. It is one of the best examples still remaining in Europe of what a Medieval town would look like.
The name Rotenburg ob de Tauber actually comes from the words "rot = red" and "burg = town". As you can see in the pictures the city gets its name from all of the "red roofs".


The city is famous for two street Koboldzellersteg and Spittalgasse. As you can see the streets are very narrow, but are also beautifully decorated.

The town design was the inspiration for Walt Disney studios when they decided to create the movie "Pinocchio".



If you click on the picture you should be able to see the steeples in the background. They are of the church St. Peter and Paul built in 968.
