A walk around our village on May Day

After eating lunch at a yummy German restraunt called Torschanke (Gate Tavern), we decided to take a little stroll around our village. This area is literally like 2 blocks from our house. It is so neat being around so much history. It is said that General Patton drove his tanks through the 2 arches in town and that is why there are deep grooves on the inside of the arches. The arches were built in 1452 and there is a castle (more like a mansion) that was built in the 1800s that replaced a much older castle but I don't know all the facts. You will see a picture of our village's Maypole from the May Day celebration. I love living here, I just wish I would have paid more attention in history class!
