Yesterday after I finished a busy day attending the trade show, I decided to get out and explore Nuremberg on foot. I started in the old part of city, which has a medieval wall around the area where the Nuremberg Castle is located. For those of you interested in the details, Nuremberg is in the state of Bavaria, within an area known as Middle Franconia. The old city has the feel of a true German village, with charming buildings situated along the riverbed. I especially liked the beautiful architecture, cobble stone streets, churches and statues wherever you turn. As I walked around, I couldn't help but think about all of the history that this city has seen. A history that included great power and also great evil as well. Many historic moments within Europe and Germany have occurred here, which make Nuremberg a fascinating place to visit.

Beautiful Architecture in Arches...check out this series of three archways, look closely at the detail if you can.
And a bit of old world charm...

above: I just thought this little piggy was so cute I had to take a photo. It was at the counter of a local coffee shop. It made me smile, so I decided to share it with you. Stop back again tomorrow for some more photos of Nuremberg, where I will take you on a lovely tour of the main square in town.
