Day 5: Rothenberg ob de Tauber

The final days of Bob and Dee’s visit were spent visiting with one another as well as taking in two remaining Christmas markets. After three years of living in Germany, you would think that we would tire of seeing them, but we enjoy every market we visit, regardless of whether we have been there before or whether we buy anything or not.

Rothenberg ob de Tauber was the next to last stop in the Christmas market circuit with the Budman's parents. Besides the seasonal activities of the market, the village is chocked full of history, medieval structures, and really good food.
