| Many of you may never have been to Nürnberg, or to Germany - Lance and Scott took some beautiful photos while in the town, and we'd like to share them with you! This is the Nürnberg train station. |
This is a sort of mosaic on the wall inside the station, depicting the old city of Nürnberg. |
In the distance here, you can see what's left of the old wall that protected Nürnberg from invasion during the war. |

| Here's a close up on a turret, part of the old wall. |
This beautiful shot shows the river that runs through the middle of the city (and the swan and grebes are lovely, too!). |
Here's where the fellows stayed while they were in Germany. |

| A lovely example of unique architecture -- check out all those windows! |
This is a shot looking toward Nürnberg's midtown area. |
This lovely open plaza is, on weekends, filled with stalls selling more food than you could imagine! This picture, though, was taken on a Monday, when it was a whole lot less busy. |

| This piece of sculpture, located in the plaza, is dedicated to several saints, and is simply gorgeous. |
St. Lawrence's Cathedral (Lorenz Kirche). |
Here's a close up on the Cathedral's arch and windows -- unbelievably beautiful. |

| Spot the Burger King! Big chain restaurants and shops that we know back home nestle quietly among the little German shops and you'd hardly know they were there. And now -- on with the show!! |
Beautiful weather and a cheerful sign greeted everyone attending the International Toy Fair this year! |
The Fair truly is aptly named, drawing manufacturers and dealers from literally all over the world: offering not just toys but books, kits, tooling -- just about anything you could imagine! |
