Rothenburg Part 3...the wall

A few more pictures from around town before we go to the wall.
The Criminal museum is an interesting display of forms of punishment in the olden days. Sure would make you think twice before stealing, arguing or being dishonest! o
This little house is built very crooked...I looked for the crooked man who lives here but couldn't find him...Ha!

Interesting sights everywhere you look!

I had the opportunity to walk around the city on the wall today. What a beautiful day! The following are views from there. This is an old attic entrance.


This window is a lot smaller than it looks in this picture. It is only about 3" square!



As you walk along the wall, there are plaques with names of people who have given funds to help preserve the wall. Don't know these people but they are from close to home!!

This house is built to fit!
'Schneeballen'(snowballs)tempting to look at but a little disappointing when you bite into them, I think! They are strips of unsweetened dough formed together into a ball, deep fried and then dipped in choc, caramel frosting, cinnamon and sugar, or powdered sugar. If the coating would go all the way through they might be better?? However, this is just my opinion...others sure seemed to be enjoying them. They are in all the bakeries.
