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

 
View down 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

 
Close up of the stained glass

 
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
