Cathedral Music, Nuremberg

This is the concert mentioned in the previous post.

Nuremburg, Germany

Holy cow, it's already March and I am waaayyy behind.
So, for my first full day in Germany Stephanie, Jacob, Bryan, and I went to Nuremberg. It is a beautiful city with lots of great cathedrals and other cool structures to see. Unfortunately, I can't remember the names of half the things we saw. Guess that's what happens when you wait forever to blog.


It was fun to ride on trains again!




Even though the Christmas market was closed the city was still hoppn'.






This is the top of one of the first cathedrals we ran into. It was closed, but the outside was still pretty cool to look at.

It amazes me that they look newer then they really are. Most were build between 1200-1500 a.d. I think.






The door into the cathedral. Kind of creepy if you ask me.


This is a view from inside the walls of Nuremberg Castle. We did not go into the castle itself, but it was still fun to walk around the grounds.

After a long day we decided to come into this cathedral to try and get warm. Big mistake, it was colder in here then it was outside. But as luck would have it, they were having a mini concert up on the loft. It was so neat to be in a huge cathedral listening to an organ and brass instruments being played. So beautiful!

YUM!
