Our last day on the road. We are tired. This morning Aaron said to us, “Are you guys tired?? You seem to just keep pushing forward. Aren’t you TIRED??” Then he said, “Maybe I’m just a weenie.” I think we’ve worn these two out. Today they seemed exhausted and ready to go home. We are tired too, but we just keep going, wanting them to see everything they can before they go back home.
We learned the cathedral would be closed for Mass this morning, then not open until 2:00 this afternoon. So instead we went to St Thomas church (also a large cathedral) where the Mozart organ is kept. He played here. Also Einstein.
Outside that cathedral was an Italian festival with tents and food from Italy. Walked through, enjoyed watching all the people out and about.
I love noticing the manhole covers. They are always interesting and many towns and cities have unique ones.
Today I noticed this electrical box under the pavement and I learned something new. This must be how they get power to all the booths in a Christmas Market!
French cheeses:
Aaron and Abbey found this famous bakery on YELP and we found our way to it. The line was long.
While they waited in line, I watched people going by. I also noticed some construction workers upstairs over the bakery. Look at the shute they made to get rid of the construction debris.
Roasted chestnuts:
The House of Tanners from 1572:
There was a 5k race going on through town today, honoring breast cancer victims and survivors.
Beautiful reflections:
The cathedral by day:
For our Sunday worship today, we participated in part of the Mass. Later tonight our LDS General Conference begins. We are so excited to tune in as soon as this trip is over and we have some quiet time to focus.
We had one more stop today, as we made our way back to Frankfurt–in Heidelberg. The kids are exhausted. We’ve had a very full 10 days.
