Nurnberg



This weekend we went to Nurnberg  where the best sausages are supposed to be and to me I think they are. Nurnberg is also known for gingerbread. They make it different shapes, like a bear and different kinds. They also hang them up for good luck. The ones that are hard are really hard but the other cookies are soft.  My dad's work friend came with us and he knew a lot about Nurnberg. Something I saw that was exciting was the first mini-van I ever saw in Germany. I was so surprised. We all so saw a gold sculpture fountain which has a lucky ring on it which is good luck if you touch it so we climbed the fenced and we touched it. It was a lot of fun. We also saw churches  which were huge and one was made for girls only. We also went to the toy museum and saw a lot of different kinds of toys including paper toys. They also had kitchen sets that were used to help little girls learn how to be wives.  I hope we go back sometime.

The picture of the church window is beautiful!! Do you know the name of the "girls only" church?
I love gingerbread, if I had that hard gingerbread I would dunk it in a cup of coffee and enjoy!
How is the weather, any snow where you are?
