First trip to Nürnberg

Sometimes the military is cool....like...for example, having them move us to Germany. Sometimes they're not so cool...like my husband having duty shifts on the weekend. So the exploring is going to have to stay local for now. We were able to squeeze in a trip to Nürnberg last weekend, which was about 50 minutes away on the train. First, I must comment on the train system. It is pretty awesome. I could take it one stop to the base, we could take it down to Rothenburg, we could take it into Nürnberg, then up to München...etc. The trains were very nice, tickets were a bit pricey, and the train station in Nürnberg was grand.  Anyway, Nürnberg had an Easter Market taking place in the same spot as the famous Christmas markets. After a short walk from the train station, we came across the square, grabbed some lunch - currywurst -yum, and browsed the stalls. The market itself was just okay, but it was nice to see the city again. We walked up a road to the castle, and checked that out. Only a short trip because it was quite cold out, but there is so much else to do in the city - can't wait to check some more things out.
