On the Road Again...



After several days of arguing with Tina, I finally lost the argument. Nürnberg is, in fact, the same city as Nuremberg. My mistake Tina. I apologize. You win.


Once in Nuremberg (aka Nürnberg), we visited the Documentation Center of the Nazi Party Rallying Ground in the Congress Hall. Our tour lasted between 2.5 and 3 hours. In this tour, we learned the history of Adolf Hitler, the Third Reich, the Holocaust and the Nuremberg Trials. Afterwards, we enjoyed a more light-hearted view of the city. We toured Nuremberg Castle; it sits on the hilltop overlooking the city and learned about the devastation of World War II air raids. Approximately 90% of the city was destroyed, but then later rebuilt to look almost exactly as it did before the bombings.



In the evening, we walked through the city and stopped at a beer festival. Once a year, the city holds a beer festival in the land moat surrounding the castle. Here 28 local breweries are represented along with food vendors. As you can imagine, it was an enjoyable evening... - Kev-
