Today we travelled to Ulm, Germany. Don't worry if you've never heard of it, neither had I. Dan has a conference for work and I am tagging along. We are joining Dan's coworker and wife, Andrew and Jana.

Leaving Napoli and Vesuvio behind.
Mountains peeking through the clouds.
We got into Ulm in the evening. So this concludes the photos for the 23rd.
March 24th - Wandering around Ulm
Dan and Andrew had to go to their conference, so Jana and I walked around downtown Ulm. It was very foggy for a long time in the morning.
Our first encounter with Ulm's Münster. It was very foggy in the morning and we couldn't see the top of the steeple. It has a VERY tall steeple. In fact it's the tallest steeple in the world and also the tallest church in the world. And you can climb it. So naturally, I did.
But not today.
Mini bronze map of old town Ulm. The big blob in the middle is the Münster.
You can see how it dwarfs EVERYTHING around it.
Side note not related to anything:
Ulm is the birthplace of Albert Einstein. Now you know.
One of the old gateways and the Mertzgerturm (Butcher's Tower) into the old town.
It leans, that's not you.
More of the old city wall. This area was the Fisherman's Quarter. Behind me is the Danube River.
Not so blue Danube.

There is a path atop the old city wall.

Small waterways run through
most of the old town.

Ganstör Tower.

The Rathaus or the Town Hall.
Also weird dog modern art
coming out of the street.

Quirky sundial on the side of Ulm Münster.

This concludes our adventures for today.
