My First Trip to Europe - Röthenburg

(6/16) Röthenburg originated in the 12th century CE, but it really came into its own in the 13th century. It's a walled city on a major trade route, and many of the buildings inside the walls are very old. Some members of our tour group got to stay in hotels inside the walls, but we ended up in one just outside the walls.

(6/17) We had a few errands to run that took us to places outside the walls, and even the surrounding city is picturesque.


Later we had time to walk around Röthenburg (inside the walls) and have lunch before choir concert time in St. James Cathedral. I had the Wildgulasch at Reichs Kúchenmeister.


After the choir sang in the church, the orchestra played in the town square.


After the concert we had time for dinner before taking the Night Watchman tour of Röthenburg.


In the morning, we venture on to Austria.
