Morning Cannon in Action

Guten Morgen!!
Although I mentioned the "morning call" before, a video is always priceless. This was shot at 6:30:00 am this morning from our hotel room window. If you have trouble getting out of bed in the morning, I recommend recording this and setting it as your alarm clock. Works 100% of the time!
The cannons will come in handy tomorrow - Patrick and I are headed out early to try the Germany trains for the first time in order to experience Nürnberg, the second largest city in Bavaria. The city is just 45 minutes from base and, due to its significance to the Nazi party during WWII, was the site of the Nürnberg Trials after WWII. Today, Nürnberg is particularly popular during Christmas time for their Chriskindlesmarkt (Christmas market) and Lebkuchen, a special type of gingerbread biscuit. Since it is June, we are going to aim for a tour of Lochgefängnisse (the medieval dungeons), some long-overdue sushi, and most likely some Lebkuchen (we're just a few months from Christmas, right??).
Until then we will enjoy a night on the town in Amberg with our friends Katie and Morgan - we are going to our first German steak dinner, but at a restaurant called Frenchy's? Sounds perfect!
