Nuremberg

Nuremberg!  This was the only

port where it poured rain most of 

the time we were there.  So we saw most

of this city by bus.  We did have a few minutes

of good weather that we used to see a small 

part of the old medieval town

Nuremberg was the home of Albrecht Durer, who was known

for his woodcut engravings but was also a painter, mathematician,

and theorist.  He was known all throughout Europe by the time 

he was in his early twenties, and we got to tour his home!  This home dates

back to the 1500s

Schöner Brunnen, beautiful fountain, is a 14th-century fountain located on Nuremberg's main market next to the town hall and is considered one of the main attractions of the city's Historical Mile. The fountain is approximately 19 meters high and has the shape of a Gothic spire.  There is a golden ring

on one of the sides of the gate that is known for granting wishes.  You make your wish and spin the ring clockwise three times for good luck.  I left a wish at the schoner Brunnen, and I hope it comes true!
