| Rothenburg, Germany |
| From Munich we drove to Rothenburg, but stopped at Dachau on the way there. While we were at Dachau it poured rain...I think it rained more than I had ever seen in my entire life. But think, the people who lived there had to work and live in that rain, and we just visited for a few hours. Some of those pictures are self-explanatory. After that, we went to Rothenburg which is a medieval type city with the city walls still up and intact and more traditional looking buildings. We stayed right outside the walls for two nights in a really nice hotel. It was a cool city! |

| A memorial for the prisoners of Dachau. The building in the distance is the replica bunker house. |
 |
| Two views of the bunk house, it's a replica since almost the whole camp was burned after World War II by the Germans to get rid of the evidence and shame. |
 |
 |
| Each of these rows of gravel is where the bunk houses used to be when the camp was in operation. |

| ~Rothenburg~ |
| This is the hotel room my mom and I stayed in, complete with sitting area and very nicely decorated. It was a ten room guesthouse, so all the rooms were like this. |
 |
| Another town hall! Only this one is in the main square of Rothenburg. The white building to the left has a tower, and we went up in the tower, you can see the walkway if you look close enough. |
 |
| A Rothenburg street, with the town hall framing the picture on the right. Here, you can see how the city is still medieval in nature by the road and the buildings. |
 |
 |
| Rotherburg is also famous for it's medieval torture muesem. Here is a spiked chair (left), as well as a streching ladder and a device to literally twist off limbs (down). It had, well, a lot of interesting bits of machinery. |

 |
| In this picture you can see some of the city walls to the right, as well as the surrounding countryside. |
 |
| The edge of the city and the country, taken off of another side of the same tower. |
 |
| St. Jakob's, a very beautiful gothic church. |
 |
 |
| At one end of the city, there was a garden section with plants and fountains inside the walls. I took this picture out of a window/arrow hole in the wall of the area surrounding Rothenburg. |
 |
 |
| Our hotel/guesthouse, Hotel Hornburg, located just outside the city walls.. |
| One roll of film for two places didn't work out too well, but I do have some postcards I may scan later! |
