I set out early this morning because I like to get some pictures of the city without the hordes of clueless tourists that stand in front of your photo while they try to figure out how to take one of their own. This meant that I got the main square of the old city to myself for a while, which is a nice way to enjoy it. It makes it easier to imagine what it might have been like in the middle ages.
Nearby is an old warehouse that has been turned into a tourist restaurant.
Medieval speed bump... (OK, maybe that part is new. )
Gates at the entrance to the city. 
No idea what this is, but it looked cool.

This older building was converted to KGB headquarters. Notice the basement windows that have been sealed.
A gate on the other side of the city.
Classic medieval wall. (Looks like Rothenburg, right Amy?)
One very cool spire.
Orthodox Church on the hill.
The way back down the hill. I'm headed for that cool spire.
Why?
Because they let you climb it, of course.
Ooh, new roof -- no patina yet.
