Tour of Regensberg

Sister Bradley from church organized a walking tour of one of her favorite cities and we were excited to join in on the fun. It was interesting to learn about some of the buildings and a few of the legends surrounding this amazing city. One of my favorite stories is about the architects for the Cathedral and the bridge and how they had a bet to see who could finish their projects first. Well the bridge-builder made a deal with the devil to finish first, and in exchange the devil would take the first three souls to cross the bridge. On that day the Mayor, the Bishop, and the Ruler were going to be the first to cross. Well the architect quickly moved a chicken, dog, and pig in the very front and the devil took their souls. He was so upset that he grabbed the bridge in the middle and tried to bring it up. He angrily gave up and left with his three souls leaving the bridge with a nice bump in the middle. (this is a picture from our trip in February)

Ben is so great to have around. The mothers were all saying "no piggy-back rides" and He stacked them ALL up! Cael didn't hold them for very long and it was a good thing Dad was close by to grab the stack of falling boys.

 We also stopped by a building made famous by the architect who always would put a mouse somewhere on his structures. YES! I found it and was so happy.

 Another reason it is nice to travel with Ben. Entertainment. The boys were all pretty amazed with his magic tricks while we waiting for our warm Dompfnudle (not sure about the spelling there ) It is a warm sweet roll with a vanilla custard on top. Very tasty and sweet!

 ... and what walking tour would be complete without Eis? NONE I tell you!

 These three boys are great travel buddies. There is always screaming, running, and laughing... mostly the good kind and not too much trouble...

We love getting out and about and seeing the sights. We especially love that this great city is so close!
