Germany!!! .... Is Awesome!

So after a wonderful time in Interlaken and a great time meeting some amazing new friends we spent Saturday on the train to get to Rothenburg ob de Tauber in Germany. We had to go on like 5 different trains to get here but it was worth it! Rothenburg is an amazing medivel city. Within the walls there are NO modern building, only restored old ones, most of which are 500 some years old. We went to a medivel crim museum and learnt lots about the laws back in the day. They were alot harsher than today. Like if a baker baked his bread too small or too big, even by an ounce, he got put in a cage and dunked in a well for as long as he could stand. Sometimes they would go more than he could stand and he would come up dead. I would hate to have been the baker. We ate lots of awesome German food, which really reminds us of home. I bought an awesome scarf today. It is beautiful. The rest of the time we walked around Rothenburg and enjoyed the old city, bought lots of cool souveniers. The place we stayed at was awesome too. The rooms and the bathrooms didn´t feel like a hotel or hostel, it felt like someone´s house. The beds were really comfy. The breakfast was amazing and free. They gave us so much stuff we could finish it all (Buns, fruit, meat,cheese, cereal, milk, coffee, scrambled eggs, cookies, yogurt!) Today it snowed large,fluffy snowflakes and Eric and I tried to catch them in our mouths. It was fun. Joel and Sean are WAY to cool to do stuff like that. We also had a snowball fight and build little snow buildings, mostly of the sites we have seen so far. I will try to post some pictures in a few minutes! (YAY! I know you have been holding out for so long)

Today we are going to see some castles and then taking a night train to Berlin. I really hope there pics work!
