We are in Nuremberg today... and we have not told you all about our day yesterday in Regensburg... we will update you more later... we did find the synagogue in Regensburg and was able to go in and meet locals! It was wonderful and moving! The most amazing part.. and we will post pictures soon.. was meeting the author of a book we bought about his life and his survival of the Holocaust. When we were in the synagogue we were taken to him.. and met him .. and spoke to him! He spoke beautiful english and was so happy to meet us! It took our breath away!
Today we drove thru Nuremberg which was the center of the Nazi Rallies! It was very difficult to see! The city was 90% destroyed during the war and has been reconstructed. We are spending most of our time in the old city that is surrounded by a Medieval Wall and Mote! There is also a Medieval Castle here that was built in 1300's and Debbie is so HAPPY to finally get to see a castle!
We are having a wonderful time and can't believe it is our last day! We can't wait to tell you more and encourage you to experience this amazing journey thru time down the DANUBE!!!
We will be posting our pictures soon!.. so please come back to see Regensburg, the synagogue and Nuremberg.
We fly home tomorrow... and look forward to seeing and talking to you all!
Thank you for following our explorations thru Hungary, Austria, and Bavaria!!!

Not only was Nuremberg the location for the famous Nuremberg rallies, but also where the horrible Nuremberg Laws against all Jewish people were promulgated.
These laws formed the basis for the "final solution" justifying the Holocaust and making it legal.
Speaking of legal, the most long lasting legal event of our time took place there as well, the Nuremberg Trials, where the concept of "war against humanity" was created and applied, thereby justifying the assigning blame to individuals for war crimes.
Come home safe!
Finally a photo of you both eating!! :) Wow, your journey was spectacular .. you floated through history!! A little different than a Western Caribbean cruise, yes? I am eager to hear about your experience aboard the river boat, too. Congrats on the success of your blog! I very much enjoyed the narrative your father provided .. it truly became a voyage for me, too. Hugs to you both .. smooth travels accross the puddle.
