Wurzberg and Rothenburg

In December we went to Wurzburg a quaint town in Germany and stopped at Rothenburg on the way home (one of our favorite walled cities)  It was our first blast of cold but it didn't stop us!   We experienced the Christmas markets, gluwein (hot wine), wursts (sausages) and carousels!



We love our meter Wursts!  Enough for the family to share!

Kathe Wolfart is famous in Germany for her Christmas stores and decorations.
This is Alexa ouside the store with the store security
