Last we talked (I talked, you might have listened, I really have no idea) we spent the day in Rothenburg. Since it was literally just a few hours ago, I am forgoing a recap.

Since I am behind and the next entry will be better than ever, I am combining Sunday and Monday. Easter Sunday was beautiful. The weather, the church, the music – all of it. The fact that we had NO clue what was being said makes no difference. Once mass was done we literally stepped out of church and into the Easter Market. It was great and cemented my desire to make it to a Christmas Market even more. I will say that if you want socks, that Market is THE place to go! It also had amazing bratwurst and small sausages (I will just let that go because I am a mature adult). One thing we learned on one of our tours is that guards would slip small sausages through the keyhole to feed the wealthier inmates. We didn’t leave that alone. We weren’t mature adults. But I won’t say anything more about it.

I am going to admit that I started this at 3:30 in the morning and rereading it makes me wonder what I was thinking. But know what, I am leaving it because I want you to have the full experience.

We had dinner at a truly authentic restaurant – an Italian place. After that we went to another truly authentic place, Finnegan’s Pub. It was such a great place that we went back the next night. We chatted with the bartenders (from Ireland) and Tim made a new friend from South Africa. My kid can make a tree talk – it is totally a Coffey trait. I think it is taught in the womb.

On Monday we went on a tour on the old castle- and there were more freaking steps. It was a fantastic tour – but the steps to the tower. We all decided that we had climbed enough for three vacations. But it was worth it. We have also just done a lot of wandering. And laughing. Lots and lots of laughing.

I am sure – positive- that I have skipped over things but I will add pictures here and more later after the trip. But, for now…. Tschüss!!
