Nuremburg



Today we went to Nuremburg on the train.  I uploaded some pictures to show our trip.  The train ride was about an hour.

Views of Nuremburg:

    St. Sebaldus/Lorenz Church, as early as 1225
*it looks like a smaller Notre Dame inside  


Side view of St. Sebaldus Church


    Church of Our Lady (Frauenkirch), 1352
* when we entered this church a service was in progress (catholic)


Fountain in Hauptmarkt






Shanan in old wall of city


Cigarette vending machine ... I kind of wanted
to buy some because of the fact they are from a vending 
machine on the street! 



Heiliggeistspital, 1833








Fat women eating cake


Where is that water coming from?

We had a great time, this being our first city to visit.  It was a visual overload seeing all of the churches and buildings.  So much history.  We are still trying to get over the jet lag, its been getting better, but were still pretty tired by the end of the day.  Anyways, hope you'll (South Carolina still coming through) enjoy the pictures.
