Rothenburg! My favorite place we went by far! It it a walled city, has the cutest buildings, decorated beautifully, and best stores! We started off with a tour (best tour guide yet... love you Victoria!) and then we walked around the town. This was our coldest day yet and quite windy which made the cold feel even colder! For the most part, I will let the pictures do the talking because it was just so beautiful (another cloudy day but it wasn't rainy)!
These are the walls that close in Rothenburg. You can walk on them (see below for more pictures of this).
The tower and part of the walls
When we got there, many had to go to the bathroom so when the men were out some of us (Aunt Jeanne and myself included) got to go into the men's bathroom and I had to document it!
In the town main square with the clock that goes off on the hour
What Rothenburg is known for is the Christmas stores it has all year long! Kathe Wohlfahrt is the famous Christmas store. As a lover of all things Christmas, this store was on steroids! I didn't know you could fit so many Christmas related things in one place! But it was fun to go through and look at! Unfortunately we weren't allowed to take pictures of things inside,so I don't have things to document it.

At this point, my camera died so the rest are Aunt Jeanne's gorgeous picutres!
Lunch... Mulled wine and sausage dog, of course!
We got to walk the walls and this was my favorite by far! I threw a fit when Aunt Jeanne told me it was time to get down. While I am super close to the wall (and stayed there as we walked), it was not that far off the ground or too scary.
Santa and his Santa dog! Dog was cute but Santa was super creepy!
After we got back to the boat from Rothenburg (the boat was still in good ole Bamburg), we had Captain's dinner for our final dinner on the boat!
Here are two brothers and their wives we met. The sweet man in yellow (Richard) is a LSU fan and we became BFFs!
Dave and Judy from Michigan
Our sweet housekeeper left this for us on the bed... elephant out of our towels.
Great day... my favorite by far!
