Speyer 2007

Last weekend, we had some nice, sunny weather (for a change), so we took Hannah to Speyer to go to the Sea Life aquarium. It’s a nice little indoor aquarium, nothing like Sea World (which I would love to visit with this guy), but interesting and educational all the same. Unfortunately, flash photography was not allowed, so almost none of our photos came out. Here are Hannah and John checking out some fish.



As soon as we were done, before we even made it to the front doors, Hannah started whining and carrying on. She was tired. She wanted to go home. She didn’t want to walk around in Speyer. And so on, and so forth. I asked her if she was going to act like that in Scotland (our next destination), and she said yes. At least she is honest.

The last time we were in Speyer, we didn’t have a car or a digital camera, so the experience was a little different this time. We didn’t stray too far from the main attraction, the cathedral, mostly because it was so hot and our child was so unaccommodating, but we got plenty of nice photos of the few things we saw.

The cathedral and the Stadthaus:


The history museum for the Pfalz, where we saw a Playmobil exhibit the last time we were in Speyer, but this time they have something on Attila the Hun:


And finally, we got ourselves lost on the way home—a different route from when we were lost on the way there—so instead of crossing the Rhine via bridge, we went via ferry:


We'll be in Scotland August 14-22, so check back after that for an update.
