Here are the rest of the pictures from Bremen (the first time)
that I didn't post earlier.

If you look closely at the donkey, you'll
notice that his legs are polished to a gold shine. The statue wasn't made
that way. It is said that touching the legs of the donkey will bring you
good luck, and if you hold the legs of the donkey while making a wish, your wish
will come true. So many people have touched and held the donkey's legs
over the years, hoping and wishing for good fortune in life and love, that the
donkey's legs have been polished to a nice gold shine.
Good luck boys!
Gold work in an older part of Bremen
Us with the stuffed animal version of the Bremen town
musicians.
Us: Kurt, Jill (Wisconsin), Mara (Italian, living in Wisconsin, studying in Germany), Aliyr (Kazakhstan), Anna (Germany), Jim (Minnesota), Kelly (Wisconsin)
This is a sign for the museum of Paula
Becker Anderson. Kelly wanted a picture of it, so I took one and posted it
here. For those on this site who are fans of hers, you can see her work at
a museum in Bremen.
Here is another beautiful church in Bremen
that I have not yet gotten to go inside of.
B-Mannschaft (at the bottom of the picture) means second
string team. These are the backups for the Bremen Town Musicians, just in
case the first string gets hurt or injured. (Oma, you should enjoy this
one!)

St. Peter's Cathedral in Bremen. If you look closely at this picture, you will see the statue of the Kaiser to the left of the cathedral. He commissioned the rebuilding of this cathedral in 1889, because the original which was built in the middle ages, was completely destroyed. Not even one stone of the original building was found intact. |
The statue of the Kaiser. I didn't do this on purpose, but there's a person walking next to the statue. If you take that and compare it with the picture of the cathedral to the left, it gives you a perspective of just how big this cathedral is. |
Das Rathaus (City Hall) in Bremen
I will translate this later on, and talk about it a bit more, but the Schnoorviertel has some of the oldest buildings in Bremen, and this sign tells about the history of the Schnoor. The following pictures were taken in the Schnoorviertel.

I'm going to let Kurt decide what the caption for this picture should be. |
On the left is a great and fun touristy street in
Bremen! On the right is the sushi display at the restaurant where Kurt and I ate sushi a
week later. (Go back to the index and see the page from April
6).
Last, but definitely not least, a few more pictures from the inside of St. Peter's Dom in Bremen.
On the left is the organ above the choir
loft in the back of the cathedral. On the right is the pulpit.
The really ornate organ in the front of the
cathedral. How would you like to play this one Mom?

I lived and studied at the German university in Oldenburg which is near Bremen, and about two hours east of Hamburg, Germany. Clearly visible on the map are Bremen and Twistringen, Germany. When I go back, I'd like to visit Hannover and Berlin, as well as Cologne. Also, I'd like to visit more German castles, Because I only visited two in Nuremberg.
