Now, this guy I liked from the moment I met him.....

While out exploring Rothenburg, Bavaria....

I think he was a Franciscan Monk.....

He didn't say much.....

He seemed to be a Traveler, a Storyteller, and a Good Samaritan.....

I do know he was very old.....

He didn't say much.....

Bavaria..... May 2008

Somewhere in Rothenburg, Germany.....

I found this while exploring around town...

Hey.....Tori,......Got a minute....??

This is Jakobskiche.....Dedicated to St James in 1311

Home of the "Blood Alter"...... Rothenburg, Germany....

The Rathaus and Marktplatz..... May 2008

City Hall and Market Square.....Rothenburg, Germany

Rathaus....

Well......you can't have a Medieval German Castle Town without one of these.....

Here's a street near my hostel that splits itself.....

You can take the high road or the low road....

Either way you run into a city wall tower and gate.....

A very old and odd Castle Town in Bavaria...

Since I cut off the top of this photo.....

Take a close look.... Then take a guess....

Where in the Rothenburg have I found myself now.....?

Here we are.....at the front doors of....

The Medieval Crime and Punishment Museum.....

Rothenburg, Germany...... May 2008

Sometimes translation is just not needed......

Rothenburg, Bavaria, Germany..... May 2008

Don't worry about finding a ride.....

In Medieval Bavaria....

They'd come get you.....

No matter how you would go about using this.....

It most certainly does not look to be any fun at all....

At least if you are on the recieving end of it......

I'm sure during medieval times the jailers would have the proper enforced mentality to have great fun with things like this.....

Strange.....

Now here's a great photo and a good memory....

Glad I got a photo of this.....

This is the lunch room at breakfast time.....

This is the International Youth Hostile in Rothenburg....

Sure my room was a little thing with 8 bunk beds......

YET,.... breakfast was free meat and cheese and more, make your own sandwiches, with bread and jellies and cereal and more, with milk, juice , coffies, and whatever else you may want early morning in Bavaria......

GOOD EATS FUN.....

Yes......This is a good memory.... after being on the road all through Europe...you would say so too.....

Photo from Rothenburg, Bavaria, Germany.....2008

Have a nice day.....

BIG FUN....
