Girls’s day out today is in Pottenstein.  Evelina’s best friends Lisa is at our house for a sleepover.  These two girls really hit it off at school and have been great friends.  Today is Lisa’s turn to stay at our house.  As a little treat and for a bit of a break we drove to a small town of Pottenstein near Nuremberg for summer toboggan rides, dinner and of course some gelato.  Pottenstein is a small  town of 1500 people with a very colourful history and checkered past.  There is a small castle on the top of a mountain at least 3 or 4 churches and just about everything else one would need to live in a quiet idillic Bavarian town.  It really is worth a visit.  It is not as charming and colourful as Riquewhir but it is a 30 min drive and it is full of charm and character of its own – trust me on this.
