After dinner, we made it over to Römer. This has been the local city hall since the early 1400's when the building was sold to the city by the Römer family. It's ironically German. And oh, goodness, was the surrounding plaza FULL OF TOURISTS! We spend most of our time in Germany in pretty non-tourist areas. Even visiting Trier, you see more local tourists than the international hoard.
Near the Römer is the Eisnerer Stag. This is a pedestrian bridge where people attach padlocks. We're pretty sure it is somehow connected with romantic love?! We went there, we took a picture. Lookey:
Leaving the Bridge, we enjoyed a pedestrian street and came across the local high-end Carhartt store. We were saddened that this year there were no traditional coveralls laid out as high fashion, however the exclusivity and prestige of the store did not disappoint.
A local bookstore had the German Settlers of Catan on sale - if we wouldn't have had to haul it all over Italy next week, it'd have been a tempting purchase. Even more tempting was this Luther board game! Also on sale for 10 Euro! Perhaps we'll pick it up on the trip back to America! Who wants invited to the game-play party!?
Nein, my German is worse than my Spanish
