Maddie overlooking a grape field in Rothenberg
Yes. It's been there since 1374!
Haven't been very good at updating the blog lately, but I'll try to catch up.
Last week, Mom and Dad and Maddie and I went to Rothenberg, a Medieval walled city about 4 hours south. It is really beautiful and full of all this amazing history. We should have planned to stay longer.
There's a really great story about how they restored the part of the city that was destroyed during WWII. After the war, they sent out word across the world that anyone who would send 80 francs toward the rebuilding of Rothenberg could have their name embedded in the wall that surrounds the city. As you walk along the wall, you can read the names of people from all around the world who had seen and loved the city and helped it rebuild.
On the way home we took the scenic route through the little villages of the Bayern area of Germany. Just by the side of the road we found this little chapel that was open to whomever wanted to stop in.
