Europe - Rothenburg

Rothenburg was pretty cool, but very touristy. There were lots of fun shops and busy, cobbled streets to walk down in this quaint walled city.

 

 

A number of the houses looked like this

 

I tried to capture the crowded feeling of the city and houses

 

Our weather and the sights were beautiful

 

Typical street in Rothenburg

 

Sneak attack =)

 

Another cool, but typical, street

 

I actually got a good picture of her! =D

Europe - Ulm

So, our second day in Ulm, we climbed to the very top of the tallest steeple in the world (768 steps), which was actually really fun, and we got some awesome views.

 

 

This is what the steps were like pretty much the entire way - we were a little dizzy after each flight of stairs =)

 

Part of the spectacular view of Ulm from one of the stops on the way up

 

The rest of the church from the steeple

Second to last stop on the way up

 

It's a beautiful cathedral, and it was an amazing day

 

The view of the Danube

 

Family picture =)

Europe - Ulm

More pictures from Ulm - there were lots of great picture opportunities, so there will be more posts from Ulm =)

 

 

A lot of the houses looked like this, but they weren't all as crooked as this one =)

 

Another cute street on a canal

 

Swan on the Danube

 

Syd and I on an awesome walking path/bridge near the Danube

Full view of the Ulmer Munster

 

These were honestly for sale at a major department store =D

Europe - Ulm

 

After saying "See you later!" to the family in Zurich, we hopped in the car and drove about 3 hours to the city of Ulm in Germany, where we spent one night. It was quite fun, and Ulm is a magnificent city.

 

 

The fabulous view from our hotel of the Ulmer Munster, which has the tallest steeple in the world

 

Syd, probably insagraming about our trip =)

One of the gorgeous stained glass windows

One of the many very cute back streets in Ulm

 

This is what many houses looked like (including the German flag for the World Cup)

 

Gotta love this girl and how she documents her trip! =D

Europe - Zurich and Family

This is all just family...

 

 

It's not a good "picture" picture, but it's artsy, and that's why I liked it =)

 

Cutie

 

National pride

 

Having fun

Europe - Zurich

More pictures (and there will be even more =D)

 

 

A better picture of the awesome rooftop terraces (I know I'm talking about them a lot, but they are just sooooo cool!)

 

There were many swans on the river in Zurich

 

I love this girl!! =D

Europe - Zurich

Europe is fantastic!

 

 

It was raining a little...

 

Can you tell were this was taken? =)

 

 I'm sorry, but European bathrooms are strange...

 

The family on the river - minus me

Lovin' Zurich!

First of all, I will just say that I love it in Zurich! It is especially great staying with family, and the food is fantastic! =)

The view of a clock tower at sunset from a rooftop terrace (I love hearing the bell chime =D)

Sunset from the rooftop terrace

This is what practically every street looks like, and I just ADORE it!

There are rooftop terraces everywhere you turn

Again, I just love the architecture here =)
