Wowsers, is this going out late-- it's 1:11am on the 26th here in Europe, but still around Christmas Dinner time on the East Coast, so we're not too late in expressing our sentiments. After the last great push to clean the place up and move all the furniture in (I swear, we are singlehandedly raising the GNP of Sweden with all of the IKEA furniture we bought) on Christmas Eve, we spent most of Christmas day preparing for a dinner with some similarly "stranded" friends who just left here less than an hour ago. Our one indulgence today was a quick walk to the Nuremberg Altstadt in the late morning to really see the city when it's near-empty. We ducked into St. Sebald's Church, a Romanesque-era structure whose construction began in the 1230's (pictured), paid our respects, and then went to... kind of embarrasing here-- Starbucks, which was mysteriously (miraculously?) open, one of only 2 shops in all of the city with the lights on and people inside. Back to the apartment, more cleaning (me) and cooking (B), and received our guests just past 6:00 local time. A nice, chill evening overall. Tomorrow we sleep in-- yay! Now that's a gift we can use. Merry Christmas everybody!
