The Aerie
Today's pics are from our visit to Nuremburg, or Nurnberg. I've got the upload process speeding up, but I still don't have enough battery time on my laptop to comment the pictures.
The first batch are our host family's children and their cat. They depart for our home in Minnesota in a few hours, so it was nice that our kids could spend time with them. These folks are wonderful people and we've really enjoyed getting to know them.
We worked on driving skills today - I drove from home to the train station and back without using the GPS. The train was an adventure, it took me a longer time than it ought to figure out how to buy the tickets.
We visited Nurnberg, where an annual festival was underway. There were street performers, of every quality from "amateur" to "superb" playing many kinds of music, including Celtic, Blues, German oom-pah, and a-capella 'Grease' medleys.
Much of the day was lost to logistics, driving, figuring out train schedules, etc., so it was kind of a short day of touring, but long on learning. At night we sat up again until midnight talking with our hosts and their very kind neighbors, so now it's 1:30 a.m. and time for me to get ready for tomorrow's adventures!
Hopefully I can take an hour or two tomorrow and add comments to these pictures. For tonight, however, I must sleep - 1:30 a.m. here! G'night!
