Stopping in Rothenburg

We stopped in Rothenburg on our way to Paderborn.  It's an city founded in the 13th century with its original wall surrounding the old part of town.  It's a popular tourist destination, while waiting in the city centre WC Crista talked with some Americans that were visiting as part of the river cruise they were on. Tourists like to buy snow globes and all the Christmas accessories the vendors offer in the village.

We went to the criminal museum.  It was a history on how punishment and torture was conducted in Germany hundreds of years ago.  They had the various torture devices on display and instructions on how to properly use the devices.  The boys were not that impressed.  Therefore we didn't try to bore them with other spots in the medieval town so we got back in the car and continued our drive to Paderborn.
