Nürnberg! Again...and more!

Well we were off to Nürnberg for the afternoon again this weekend. I really do wish the train tickets were a bit cheaper. So much to see and do, and places to shop at!...well anyway, we had lunch at an American style place-which was a bit of a relief, after all of the traditional German restaurants. It was nice to be in a big, face-paced, burger place. We walked through the Easter market again, and up to the Stadtmuseum Fembohaus (City Museum Fembohaus). The museum focuses on the history of the city, as well as the history of the house itself, and its owners. 
After the museum, we headed back to the main train station to the take the S-Bahn to the Frühlingsfest (Spring festival), which was being held towards the outskirts of the city. After a couple stops on the train, we were there...and a little lost. We followed some people, and after all found the festival. The festival was similar to a state fair in the states. Rides, food, games, but with the addition of biergartens. It was definitely odd to see familiar rides and food stands with German decorations and names. We walked around, gawked at the rides we were too chicken to go on, and had some beer, and then we were on our way. Spring fest would be great if we had kids. It was good to see and check it out though. 


yes it was the crooked :)






The synagogue in Nürnberg that was, of course, destroyed. :(
