Deutschland Christmas - Day 3 & 4

We cautiously set out on day 3, praying & hoping for no mishaps. After all, just because we were traveling the Grimm Bro.'s fairy-tale road, it was not necessary for things to be "grim". Everything went fine. Whew! Here are some pictures from along the way.

Rapunzel's castle where she let her hair down. Really.

Here is the woods that Little Red Riding Hood walked through to get to her grandmother's house. Can you see the wolf anywhere???

Have you heard of The Pied Piper of Hamelin? It is a fairly disturbing fairy tale. See here. You can follow the steps of the pied piper marked out by these mice stamped all over the city of Hameln.
(No, I didn't spell it wroong.)


Here is a little German town. We loved the tudor houses everywhere.

A picture in Steinau. The problem with touring Germany in the winter--it was dark by 5 p.m.

Here we are at the Grimm Brothers Museum by the Frog King. Where'd he go? Maybe he's hiding behind Tyler with Caleb.
The city of Bremen was our final destination on the fairy-tale road. It is famous for the Bremen Town Musicians and there was a statue in the centrum and references to it all over town. We saw another Christmas market here, too.

The end.
