A day trip to Ulm...

Rick and I have decided that in leu of gifts for holidays we will go on a trip so we went to Ulm today for Valentine's Day.  This city is where Einstein was born.  He only spent a few years here and then he and his family moved to Munich.  We will have to go back to this town to see the bread museum, and enjoy the water that runs throughout the town.  Today though we decided to climb up the cathedral stairs (around 726 of them).  This was a great idea in theory, but it was brutal.  I enjoyed the free cardio but I have always had motion sickness and this just made my whole equilibrium crazy.  We just kept going round and round and round and it just felt like I was going to get sick, miss a step, and at one point I thought I was going to pass out.  It was really strange.... lesson learned though... I cannot climb up stairs in a tight circle!  

We wanted to find Einstein's house but the man we asked said there was no such plaque (his house was bombed during WWII).  I think there is and I am on a mission to find it.  We were also told that there was an Einstein museum but no sign of that either.  There was a beautiful river that ran through this small town.  They say that it is like Venice; we will have to go back when the weather gets warmer and enjoy more of this area.  

I loved these houses but if you look closely you will see that some of the houses are not standing up straight!

Okay ready here it is...

Last but not least look at this beautiful cathedral!
