Where it all began... Wittenburg

      The second place we visited on our Reformation Trip was Wittenburg. This was the city that we spent the most time in, and it was kind of our home base for visiting all the other cities. We stayed in a Youth Hostel there. A Youth Hostel is kind of an inexpensive hotel for youth groups and such, and they are more like dormitories than a hotel. 

      The unfortunate thing about our visit to Wittenburg was that the two big churches in the city were covered with scaffolding and plastic, since they are restoring the buildings there for the 2017 Celebration of the Reformation, marking 500 years since Luther nailed the 95 Theses to the door of the Castle-Church in Wittenburg.

      Other than that Wittenburg was a very nice and quaint little city/town with beautiful architecture!And it was amazing to be in the place where Martin Luther was. An amazing thing was that most of the cobblestones on the streets were from the period when Martin Luther was actually alive!!! So it could actually be possible that I walked on the same stones as him! (Not that it's that big a deal or anything)

    But now here's some pictures, which you would probably rather see, than hear me talk about stones.

This was very disappointing... This was the inside of the Castle-Church, they had everything covered with plastic, scaffolding and plywood. They had these pictures of it, but it's a poor substitute.

This is the old Rathaus (Town Hall Building).

The other large church in Wittenburg, also covered with Scaffolding.... :P

The Castle-Church from a distance.

I just love the Streets in Wittenburg!

Man there's just sooo many interesting faces on churches and buildings here in Germany! You are always being watched by Stony Eyes!

This was a painting in the Lutherhaus depicting the 10 Commandments. Because many people didn't know how to read back then pictures were often the best way to communicate a point.

Oh and this was just something that is soo strange about Germany, all their tractor-trailer trucks, and dump-trucks even are Mercedes-Benz!!! Just something that is kinda funny.

Oh, and over here in Europe they call a projector a Beamer. When they say "Beamer," my mind immediately thinks of the car the BMW!
