August 26th

Hello from Hannover, as we decided to travel too in the afternoon yesterday while sitting in a internet cafe.

Munich was a great stop even despite the heat and the lack of AC. Our last day in Munich we spent a good portion of it at the pinakothek der moderne museum with tons of great art to see, new and old as well as a huge selection of design items from the ages. It seems thats about all we had in us for the day, a little worn out I suppose haha...so we took advantage of the english movie channel we had at the hotel! its been awhile since we#ve heard anything in english other than cnn updates on Libia. Come to think of it we didnt even go for supper instead we just picked up something small from the bakery near by. It was a much needed rest as the next day we had to put on our backpacks and ride the rail to Rothenburg, Germany.

Arriving there it was prettz amazing as we had to walk from the train station through midevil gates to find the hotel inside the walls of the historic rothenburg! this place is 100% authentic, something like we've never seen before, towers and buildings built thousands of years ago in some cases; It all dates back to the 900's. We found our hotel without much trouble and made our way out into the town, we stumbbled accross St. James church which had an organ concert inside in a few min so we went in. Another very beautiful church and the music wasnt to bad either haha. He played some Bach, Patchbell and a few others music on a 1960's buildt organ...tons of diversity in sound unlike i've heard before and at the low end the building would shake! After the concert we stopped at a place in the main square for supper, I had the meatloaf and mushroom sauce and cristelle had the roasted pork and I found out they consider a flattened pig sausage to be meatloaf...yuck. The next day we walked and walked and what a great place for it, we walked through a vineyard to a very old looking church then down under an aquaduct looking bridge and then back up the hill through another castle style gate to get back in. We also walked into the walls of that gate which still had cannons and wagons inside the dark stone walls! We also took a stroll along the top of the walls and covered a good portion of the border. A fairytale place to be sure.
