They also have a History of Christmas Musuem as many of our Christmas customs originiated in Germany. We had another awesome dinner and followed that with a night tour of Rothenburg.It's led by a night watchman who tells many stories of the city.
Lora feels that Jeff missed his calling and should probably start a night watchman tour in Saratoga or Los Gatos. The night watchman gets 6 Euro (~$9) per person for the tour and last night there were at least 70 people on the tour....not a bad night's pay.Today we arrived in Switzerland and are staying with our friends Bruno and Brigitta.
Bruno met us on the highway as we entered the Swiss border and escorted us through the scenic Mountainous area known as Appenzell. It's like a cross between New Hampshire and Glacier National Park in Montana. It's beautiful but also cold up on the mountain tops.
Huge mountains and a green landscape seem to be everywhere you look and would make remarkable postcards.Tonight Bruno and Brigitta are hosting us for dinner with a traditional Swiss meal called Raclette. Will let you know what that is in the next post :-)

Gosh! All the photos are just wonderful - you all seem to having a fansastic time. Keep warm, Lora. :) Thanks for taking time to update. Oh - Jenna just told me "I want to go stay at Aunt Lora and Uncle Bobo's house." Go, get ready for family once Soccer is over (late Nov/Dec/Jan/Feb). Both kids also are looking forward to Nana and Papa coming home - you are all missed!
Thanks for the update...anytime you want to come up we will be happy to host you all.
We all miss you guys too.
Be sure to have some fondue for me. Raclette is DELICIOUS
We did love Raclette...we had bacon, chicken, sausage, tomatoes, mushrooms, potatoes and pineapple to go with it.
