Happy Birthday America!! Unfortunately the Germans do not celebrate Independence Day, so....
Had a great day today. Went to Rotenburg o.d.T. (over the river in German). We left about 930 this morning, stopped at Colmburg Castle, then spent the rest of the day in Rotenburg. One of the first things we did was tour the Criminal Justice Museum. This told how crimes were dealt with in the medieval days, including torture, how sentences were passed, how people were convicted of crimes, oh and of some of the stupid laws people would break, such as...
Men thinking bad thoughts
Women babbling too much (gossip)
People playing music badly (look at the picture to see what they had to wear when they broke this law)
And many others
Afterwards we walked the town and then came back to Bergoberbach. When we got home, we took the dogs for a walk and stopped by a kneipbecken, which is a mineral pool that helps relieve pain/stress from your feet, legs and I guess whatever else that ails you.
The weather was beautiful, 70s! It looks like it will stay warm for the rest of our vacation. Because of the threat of rain on Friday, we will be traveling to Neuschwanstein tomorrow, about a 3 hour drive south of here on the edge of the Alps. We have to leave here by 6 AM.
