Germany, day 39: Bremen with Dad

As we had but one day until we left Bremen, Dad and I wanted to see some sights in Bremen. We took the opportunity to photograph the churches I had been to.

There's a well-preserved Medieval part of the city called the “Schnoor”, which, as far as I know, is a unique name. In it, we found a Catholic church, formerly a Franciscan church.

We visited the Bremen cathedral, which offered a climb of the tower for an Euro per person, which offered an excellent view of the Teerhof.

The most curious thing about the tower climb is that, upon returning to the foyer down the 200-something stairs, they display two signs on the stair side of the door: “Silence, please!”, and “Caution: Step.”


European Statues

These statues in the Böttcherstrasse demonstrate how comfortable Europeans are with nudity.

As Dad and I were to leave the following day, the group's last supper happened on the Tuesday night. We went to the Paulaner restaurant on the strip by the Weser, and we invited the administrator and organizer of our stay on the German side. (Left of the Paulaner)
