We had hoped to go to Rothenburg ob der Taube today. A cold front moved in and the temperature dropped sharply. Then the snow began to fall. Now there is a light snow over everything. We had arranged a "night watchman" tour tonight. That just did not seem like a good idea today, so I called our guide and he graciously agreed to let us cancel without paying. We walked downtown to get some shoe laces and it was so cold we decided that we had done the right thing when we chose not to go to Rothenburg. Anyway we are staying in our apartment and cleaning and taking care of things.

This photo is also taken from the patio on our apartment looking south west rather than south east.
