Today we started the day with a presentation from the director of the Museum of Nuremberg. Our next stop was the Albrect-Dürer House.

Our tour guide played the part of Dürer’s wife, Agnes . For lunch we had more German food. I had my favorite speatzel with cheese and onions. I also was quite brave and tried smoked beer. It kind of tasted like beef jerky, so I didn’t hate it.

Our next tour was of the City Museum to get some history of the city. I’m always most fascinated to see how terribly it was bombed in WWII and how well the city has been restored since then. Our last tour of the day was at the New Museum.

This was also a guided tour, but there’s something wrong about having a tour guide at a modern art museum. I had to escape from the tour, so I first went to see if there was someone I could speak to about hosting events there and when that didn’t work out, I still had to wander the museum without a guide. For dinner, we went to a German restaurant, but luckily they had some different cuisines. I went with grilled chicken with a coconut peanut sauce.
