Day 9

We made it to Nuremberg! There's a rail strike and wifi is elusive, but c'est la vie. 

We arrived around 1:30 to the beautiful city. Today was our intro to Nuremberg, and a lovely local showed us around and gave us the medieval history of the walled city. It's quite different from Munich, full of hills and small alleyways. 
Our hotel is located in a really nice residential neighborhood, and it's just a short walk up the hill, over the moat and through the castle down to the city. 

There's a small river running through the city, and it makes the city both extremely walkable and picturesque. 

Tomorrow we begin our workshops at the Palace of Justice, where we will have the privilege of speaking to some very important people here in Nuremberg. 

Although the original plan was to speak to a survivor in Munich, because he had to cancel we now will be speaking with a Sinti woman who survived Auschwitz as a child. It will be difficult to hear, but it's time to start dealing with the even heavier material before we make our way to Poland. 

So far, I'm impressed with Nuremberg.
