A Day in Goslar!

The day started early because Tom was determined to continue

his hunt for the church he met in here during his mission.

Yesterday we walked several miles of streets looking but didn't 

find it so the hunt continues today.

After breakfast of bread, cheese and yogurt (so good) 

we started out.

These are the two towers that are at the entrance to Goslar.

Kaiserpfalz - Kaiser's Palace

He was the first king of Germany.

One of the large churches:

The Marketplace - they had their farmer's

market going on so we had to stop to get some

fruit and pop.

These containers are large and only cost 1 euro each.

I couldn't believe we ate all of these raspberries.

We continued are search:

A water fountain in the middle of a cul-de-sac 

We walked every street

and alley around looking for the church.

We finally stopped for lunch at the

Die Butterhanne and had their Currywurst and fries.

I could so be addicted to Currywurst.

But their diet Coke is a joke. A glass of diet coke comes

in an 8 oz glass with ONE cube of ice and costs 1,80 euro.

A large bottle of beer is 2,30 euro. Everyone's walking

around with bottles of beer, even the teenagers. I just

want a nice cold LARGE pop please.

We went over to the ice cream shop for a scoop of ice

cream. As we were eating I was looking at their dessert

menu. This menu says spaghetti but when I looked

closer it looked like spaghetti with chocolate sauce on it.

Well that's what it was, ice cream that comes out looking

like spaghetti and then you can choose all these different

topping. You know what I'm having for dinner tonight!

Well our search continued for the church. We walked

every street and alley in Goslar and then started up the

mountain roads. We were getting tired and discouraged

and decided to call it a day and head back to the hotel.

We walked around the corner and Tom shouted, "OMGoodness,

there it is!" It wasn't the building the church met in 

but this is the house that he lived in. The

two front windows on the second floor was his apartment.

It was really cool to finally find something he remembered from

42 years ago.

It was sad that we didn't find the church. It was an old

building built in 1400 and had some unique features

(according to Tom). But at least we found his apartment.

Tomorrow we take two trains to get us to Stuttgart. It will

be fun to see our friends from Ohio, the Downers.

P.S.

I finally remembered to take a photo of our hotel.

It's very old, but really nice. The beds in Germany

hotels are the absolute best. I want to take one home.

We went back to the Market Place to have some dinner 

and decided to try German Pizza. Sorry no picture but

it was really good.

Then as we were getting ready to return to the hotel, Tom

said lets try one more time to try and find the church.

Well guess what? He thinks we found it.  After he

discovered where his apartment was it helped him to get

his directions better and we found "the door."

When we get home we will compare this photo with the photo

he took of the church 42 years ago. 

As a reward for all the walking I did to help find "the door," we

went and had some Spaghetti ice cream from the menu I

posted above. It was really really good and I savored every

bite.

Will report from Stuttgart tomorrow!
