Nuremburg out of Order
I knew I was forgetting something in Nuremburg! To get Will to leave our great hotel room, Rob took him on a Nuremburg treasure hunt. He and Sebastian had to find a beautiful fountain (Schonnerbrunnen), a metal boat (sculpture called Ship of Fools) and three kinds of bridges (metal, wood and stone). The boys were very into it. Meanwhile, MA and Katie took Maddie and Liam to the Albrecht Durer house which was great in terms of its size and exhibits for third graders. Both of them were struck by the things used to mix paint, and Maddie decided that paintings are worth a lot of money because you put precious things into them, like lapis lazuli and stuff. Afterward, we all went out to lunch with students at this restaurant over the river, which served us sauerbraten and rotkohl (which will make Curtis and Karen and Liesl happy for us and the rest of you say, so what?). Even Will ended up liking Nuremburg (though the hotel hot tub made it into his top three . . .).
