We showed up in Rothenburg, Germany on a sleepy afternoon in Bavaria. Rothenburg has the reputation as being one of the best-preserved Medieval villages in Germany, due to many different factors. It’s been around for over 1,000 years, and it’s history is immense!  One thing that interested me was that in 1631, during the 30 years war, the town was Protestant Lutheran, and was attacked by a Catholic Count who wanted a place to...

The weather was beautiful on this cool, crisp morning in Miltenburg, Germany!     We found a cool old street leading up to a tower with a path underneath…begging us to come see beyond its entry!     It did not disappoint!  How beautiful!     It’s a tad bit old…1400-ish 🙂     Miltenburg...
