Cold, crisp day in Marburg, Germany

My husband's dear Aunt Judy is visiting us in Frankfurt.  We have had a lovely time having her and have appreciated all of her help.  

We left the boys with their baby-sitter and headed to Marburg, Germany.  Marburg is an hour away from Frankfurt (by train).

Within a short walk from the train station, we were at Elisabethkirche.  Wow! While it looked like a regular church from the outside, the colorful stained glass blew me away.  Yes, I have a thing for stained glass. 

Elisabethkirche had more than stained glass:

And from the outside:

After the church, we headed to the Castle.  Along the way, we were charmed by the streets of Marburg.

After a lovely lunch, and a long hike up way too many steps, we made it to the Castle.  

We had problems finding the entrance to the Castle, and that was just the beginning.  While we enjoyed the views and a few of the sites inside the Castle, we couldn't find much of what we wanted to see.  The signage was extremely poor and the staff could not speak English.  While that was frustrating, we laughed and managed to still enjoy our time there.

All in all, a great time!  Hard to believe that in about 5.5 weeks, we will be leaving Frankfurt!  That being said, I am excited for the Mexican food, Chicago-style deep dish pizza, and American style sushi!
