57027--in the new year

[zyzyly]

We went to Rothenburg today, on our way to Munich. We spent the day wandering around this old walled town. Had lunch at a German place, and actually had German food, which was delicious. In the late afternoon we stopped in for Schneelballen and coffee. Schneelballen are a pastry that is particular to Rothenburg. Very delicious. They are round, like snowballs. Now you know a word in German! I took lots of pictures of doors.



We stayed up late last night setting off fireworks and watching the New Years show on German television, which is nothing like New Years tv in the US. Lots of lederhosen and accordions. It was so cheesy and delightful. We toasted at midnight and went to bed.

Lovely photos, as usual. TV here showed glimpses of fireworks over the Brandenburg Gate.

Your post brings back memories. We spend a cold Winter's day in Rothenburg, had a German meal and a Schneelballen for dessert. Thanks for sharing your photos.
Enjoy Munich & the gluckenspiel. Happy New Year!

I love this! I was born in Nurnberg...lived in Furth. My parents talk about our time there all the time. Happy New Year!

At midnight they showed the Brandenburg Gate fireworks show. It was interesting that outside, in Frankfurt, we could hear the fireworks going of for at least an hour after the start of the new year.

Haha--just like us. We were in Munich this noon watching the glockenspiel. Glad the photos bring back some memories!

My dad was stationed here after the war, and my uncle lived here for 10 years (youngest son named Horst). Their stories are what brought me to Germany the first time back in the 70s. It's always been one of my favorite places.
