Last Day Germany






This morning Erich had his tooth come out, and we started our walk around the city's wall. The wall goes all the way around the town, except the part that got bombed. The view of the town can be seen from the wall, and you can see the new parts of town and the old parts of town. On part of the wall you can see plaques with peoples' names on it. You can buy 1m-20m of the wall for 1000 Euros per meter. If you buy part of the wall then you will get your name and any other location you choose on a plaque. Then we went to the torture museum, where they had shame masks, an iron mask that people were forced to wear if they gossiped, cheated, or other reasons. There were so many other fascinating items, too many to describe here. Then we found a German outlet mall that had a Steiff stuffed animal store. Emma left with a swan, a dachshund and one tiny white mouse. There is also a photo of the town of Rothenberg from the wall, and one of our hotel lobby. Well tomorrow we are back home, see everyone soon. Ciao
