We were in Nuremberg today and I visited the famous Nazi rally grounds, home of Leni Riefenstahl's Triumph of the Will. However, these are not Nazi geese. Nazis have been gone for a long time. These are just ordinary, innocent, German geese out for an afternoon swim.
Or that's what they want you to think.
Yes, but what did their great- great- . . . great-grandparents do during the war?
The museum there was really powerful, IMHO. We took our kid there on a cold, rainy day in 2016.
Hope you have a great trip - Germany has many of my fondest memories!
I agree. The “Documentation Center” museum does an amazing job of portraying how powerful the Nazi propaganda machine was. It is well worth visiting as is the historic area of that city.
But they're still goose stepping, aren't they?
Ouch.
Even Canadian Geese have a lot of Nazi in them
Birds on the brain?

It beats a worm inside, eating it... How did we end up with these guys as Presidential candidates? An elderly demented con man, an elderly dude with a brain worm, and ... Good (Old!!!) Joe Biden.
The difficult choice we face,

Like the effect of the sunlight on the rippling water, as well as the way this caught the light on the gosling that seems to prefer a nap to swimming.
Willkommen in Deutschland!
It looks like you're in for a stretch of nice weather. Let me know if you'll be heading toward southwest Germany.
As long as you are in that part of the world, visit Rothenburg ob Der Tauber, which has some well preserved medieval stuff. Along with Nuremberg, part of the romantic road up to Wurtzberg.
Isn't a lot of Rothenburg actually rebuilt after WWII? I've been there and walked around the walkway up on the wall. You just have to ignore the rebuilding thing. At least it's not Disneyland.
BTW York has almost all of its real wall and is really nice to walk around as well, and not many tourists doing it. I went there mostly for the famous train museum and found the wall and of course the cathedral and other stuff. There is always other stuff.
