Nürnberg

So, now we're in Nürnberg, or in English, Nuremberg.

We arrived here yesterday, and it's been nice so far. We're staying with my former flatmate, Lisa, and we've met lots of her friends so far.

Last night we went to her university to watch a public showing of Euro 2008: Germany vs. Crotia. Afterwards, when Germany lost, we went to mourn at the beer garden next to the castle. Today we walked around more of the historic city center, and then we went to the Documentation Center, which is a museum about the rise of the Nazi party, housed at the location of the Nazi rallies. They also had some information on the Nuremberg trials as well, which I guess is what Nuremberg is most famous for in the US, but there is a lot more to the city than that, and in Germany Nuremberg is really famous for it's Christmas market and a special kind of sausage.

This evening we had a barbeque, and Hannah and I got to make the hamburgers since we're the Americans. I think they turned out pretty well. Everyone ate too much though, and I still feel really full.

I don't know what we're doing tomorrow, except that I want to try a Berliner doughnut at some point, and in the evening we're taking the train to Munich.
