During Chris' visit to us we went to see the city of Rothenburg, it was founded in 970 A.D. In 1241 the first fortified rings of the city were built.

We also visited Nuremburg. There was a museum that was fascinating discussing the rise of Naziism in Germany. We spent several hours there. A few days later, on our way back from the Paris temple, we stopped in Rheims.

Chris and I went to Versailles for just a few minutes. We saw the crowds, the price and the guards and decided against staying. |
