Bamberg





A few weekends ago we roped Kevin and Kristi (other ISEs) into checking out the medieval town of Bamberg, which is just about two hours away from us. The top pic is Kev and Tim tasting the local beer--which incidentally is smoked. Yeah, smoked beer. "Tastes like Liquid Beef Jerky." says Kev. I tried it. Pretty rough
...
The second one is the old town hall that was built in the middle of the Regnitz River sometime in the 15th Century.
...
That's me in the third with the beautiful St. Michael's in the backgroud.
...
And yep, that's my husband crawling through a tomb there in the last one. Apparantly, local folklore claims that if you crawl through this hole in St. Otto's tomb, it's an instant cure for lumbago. So Tim and I should be free and clear of any back pain for a while. Thanks Otto!
