This month for our missionary "cultural" activity we went to Rottenburg, a beautiful village about 100 miles from Frankfurt. It was bursting with local charm and culture. About 20 of us went and met there for lunch and strolling around the village. It is renown for having the largest year round Christmas store in Germany. It truly was a block long on 2 levels. A child would have been convinced he was in Santa's workshop.
In the afternoon we went on the "Night Watchman Tour". He usually does this after dark but we didn't want to stay that late so he took us earlier. He walked us around the village and gave a very dramatic history of the village and what happened during the Nazi invasion and other wars. We literally felt like we were in a time lapse.
It was a bit nippy that day, or down right freezing! So amidst our other shopping some of us succumed to the cute local "head gear". Doesn't it add to the charm of the day?
