Regensburg



find Harry
Today I was woken up by my dad by accident.  Do you think he needs to be more careful?  Anyway this morning I had left overs from last morning's breakfast.  I was fine having the same delicious meal for two mornings.  Mmmm, so yummy.  There was meat,  Nutella, and cheese.  I really love that Nutella!  My parents liked all the cheeses.  Personally I thought the cheeses were too strong.

When the morning was over, we went to the old city of Regensburg.   This city has many beautiful old churches.  One of the churches is very famous in Europe. It is a Gothic cathedral.  It is called the Regensburger Dom. The church was built in 700 AD.  The church was expanded into a bigger, fancy Gothic cathedral throughout the thirteenth century.  It is really interesting to imagine that hundreds of years ago a person walked in the same church.

The other church was also beautiful.  It was called the Alta Kapella.  This means the old chapel.  This church was designed in a Rococo style.  Rococo means that it is very bright and happy and is lined with gold.  The problem with this church was the sanctuary was closed off with bars.  You could see through the bars.  A camera lens could also fit through the bars.

Dinner was on us tonight, so we had to get home fast.  We also did not have the amount of food we needed to cook dinner.  We went to the grocery store.  The interesting thing about the grocery store was that you have to pay for the grocery cart to use it.  But, you do get the money back when you turn the cart back in.  Tonight for dinner, we cooked pork tenderloin.  Whenever my parents make pork tenderloin at home it is always killer!  I also love their sauce.    It was as yummy today!

  3. My mom and your mom dragged me at age 10 into every church in Europe. At least it felt like every church. It was probably only the ones we walked past. Since we didn't see a lot of Germany that trip, we probably skipped a few.

    Best part of being older tourist is that I can choose where and when I visit a church. Scarred scared at an early age, I'll let you guess how many churches I entered during 14 days in Italy. Hint - more than zero, less than four, and neither one nor two. ha!
