Looking for a Bike Shop, Finding a Graveyard

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 snowing outside and temperatures are hovering in the 30s during the day.

Nonethless I went looking, maybe on the off-chance that there will be heat wave one of these weekends while I’m here and I will be able to get out somewhere on a bike. Not having any success in my hunt for a bike shop, I accidentally stumbled on a fascinating graveyard surrounding a small church on the western side of Nuernberg. Turns out as long ago as 1528 they were burying people like Albrecht Durer here. There are also people buried as recently as last year. A very fascinating place.

    Sounds like a good one. You will need to take me there when I come in December!
