Like I said we weren't going to let any grass grow under our feet. Our first trip on the train alone was taking it into Nuremberg. It was a wonderful old walled city with lots of history. We walked from one end of the city to the other. There were so many things to do and see. It seemed like any time we turned around there was a street performer doing some kind of act. They were so much fun to watch.
Rob was only 3 1/2 and we were a little worried how he would keep up with all the walking but he totally surprised us. He kept up step for step and even when he got a little tired a ride on Dad's shoulders seem to fix it. He didn't understand all the history that we were seeing, but it wasn't anything a little ice cream wouldn't help.
There was a old town square that had a large fountain in the middle. All around it was an iron fence. On the fence was a gold ring and rumor had it that if you turn it one complete turn it would bring you good luck. We don't usually believe in rumors, but every time we went into Nuremberg we turned the ring.
Our habit became picking up some sausage, cheese and bread for dinner that night since we were usually too worn out by the time we got home. We loved our trips on the train and if we didn't have anything else to do over the weekend we would find ourselves in Nuremberg.
