Eichstätt

We spent this past weekend in southern Germany visiting with our friends Stefi and Chrissy. Martin met both of them while studying abroad in Germany and so we all decided to visit the town where they all met, Eichstätt.

Eichstätt is a small town and it's very clean. All the buildings are white or light-colored and they all look new (or at least new in comparison to the buildings we saw in, say, Colmar, that were obviously very old).

Here's the trio posing by the sign for their old university:



There are a lot of churches in Eichstätt. This one is filled with little gold angels all over the walls and ceiling:



Martin and Stefi being pious in the church:



Another church in the distance (this one had a wedding going on in it):



And another church, in the distance (Martin's at the fountain there):



Here's a house, for sale, that people were gluing paper moths to. Just for fun. I'm not sure who will buy the house like this but it looks kind of neat, and a little freaky too. At first I thought they were all real and they just really liked this house for some reason. Their wings flap in the breeze so they look real.
