The first weekend in September we took a drive out to Rothenburg ob der Tauber. It had been some 20 years since I had been here with my parents. Now we took our kids here and walked along the city wall. We stopped for lunch in the Burggarten and then walked back. We also stopped to try out snowballs, a baked confectionery. None of us really took to them. We had fun reading who had donated money to keep the walls in shape.

We were also surprised to find that on this weekend, the city was overrun with reenactors. They were from the medieval period as well as from the 30-Years War. Our daughters put up with the trip, but overall they enjoyed themselves. 

The wall surrounds the entire city.
