2010-09-04: Nuremberg, Germany

    Woke up early. Waited for breakfast at 6. Breakfast is not until 7. Very good breakfast buffet: Eggs bacon, sausage, ham, french toast, breads, rolls, pastries, jellies, juices, lots of yogurts, muesli, dry cereals, cold meats, egg salad, tomato, mozzarella. It was good. Looking forward to tomorrow morning already

    Went out for quick walk in the morning in case it was going to rain in the afternoon.

    The walk started off along the river. The walk started off along the river.
    We ended up walking through a park and around a lake. 7 miles later.
    Forgot the water and hiking sticks.
    Nice warmup for the Alps.

    When we returned, the nice desk lady showed us where to make tea in the hotel. They have sugar crystals. Better than candy.
    Nice tea and miene Frau Nice tea and miene Frau
    Took the elevator up to the room. Avoided the 3 flights of stairs. Feet were a little sore.
    Finished the tea and promptly fell asleep.
    Woke up at three and walked through the town in the daylight took some pictures.
    A lot of people.

    Very slight rain drops while sun was shining.
    Snacked on strawberry crepes, sausage sandwiches, gelato chocolate and lemon basil, passed on the pizza – too full, box of cherries from Canada – Diane said it was good for reducing swelling in knees.
    Shared a bench with 2 really old people, older than us, the old man and I tried talking to each other, he did not know a word of English but thought that by speaking slowly I would get it. I thought that since miene Frau had been studying the Rosetta Stone DVD’s we could communicate. Meine Frau was too busy eating ice cream to help. So I tried talking slowly in English to him. Did not work well. We parted friends. He might have been inviting us over for supper, we will never know.
    Learned a lesson. Bakery with carrot cake and chocolate cake was closed when we went back. Does not open again until 8 AM Monday morning. Don’t put off stuffing your face when you have the chance.
    Saw some people dressed as statues. The costumes were good but the acting was weak. Saw some people dressed as statues. The costumes were good but the acting was weak.
    Back to the room to rest up the old bones.
