On Saturday morning I headed out from my hotel in search of a bike shop, knowing full well that it is much too cold, at least for me, to be riding a bike. Especially considering I am in a foreign country without any of the necessaries to keep me warm on a bike when its [...]
Space is a premium in the city of Nuremberg. During my walkings around town, I find it interesting that there are very explicit instructions on where you can and cannot park your car. The first and most obvious place to park, is on the curb. Not quite as obvious – park half on the curb [...]
In the old city in Nuremberg, the house of Albrecht Durer is just below the castle that overlooks the town. The Durer house is on a squre. And on one corner of one of the buildings on the square is a statue of St. George slaying the Dragon In my attempts to learn more about [...]
