The City of Worms

Here we are in the city of Worms, most famous for the Diet where Martin Luther stood in front of the Holy Roman Emperor and didn't budge on his beliefs.
The city was having a garden festival and they had their famous food stands!!  Here is the brat stand.  They have these huge hanging grills that cook the sausuage.  The smell is amazing and yes even I like a bite of a good brat!  I was drawn to the stand that had a sign advertising something called "potatoe in a cup."  I love potatoes so I decided to give it a try and it was the best!  They take mashed potatoes and then mix in different vegtables and cheese.  One of the best things I've had in Germany thus far!
The streets were filled with these flower vendors, I have never seen such beautiful flowers. 
I was thrilled to go into the Euro store, very much like the Dollar Store back home.
Inside of the church
Also located in Worms is the oldest Synagogue in Europe.  It was burned in 1938, but rebuilt in the 1950's using the same stones.
It was the sweetest little place.
The little town was only a 40 min. drive and we had a great time.  Our goal every weekend is to go and explore and this was another great time with lots of memories.
