Eventually we arrived at what they called the walled city. Oo ooh, spooky! Ok, not really. Anyway, we went out of our hotel, which was pretty awful. Our hotel is a small squishy room containing three beds. Then we walked around inside the wall looking for dinner. We found a place for dinner in no time. I had spatzel, Tara had spatzel with pork, and my dad had spatzel with chicken. ( No need to count my mom because all she had was plain chicken and fries). After dinner we walked around some more and met next to a church for our tour.
A guy came with a torch, a lantern, and a horn to tell us the history of Rothenburg. It was very intersting. Did you know back then most of Rottenburg's citizens went away in the summer because of the bad smell? The street was filled with all sort of cattle that certainly did their part. And every morning people would dump ( the suff ) in their chamber pots out the window. They would shout, " Down!" So people in the village would know when to get out of the way. In the summer it got so hot, dry, and smelly. People who could afforded to move into the country, did. It was nine by the time we were done, so went back to the hotel to get a good nights sleep.
