Stein am Rhein

Thomas took us to Stein am Rhein for a bit of tourist fun. It is a famous town due to all the painted buildings. This church has a super high, skinny tower (the picture really doesn't show) that was last reproofed by a single man and some ropes. He apparently did a hand stand on the little gold ball on top. yikes!
Its an adorable little town
And the paintings are very grand

Overly touristy of course, but hey
watering trough
Pretty buildings


St. George, the patron cain, guards their sewers. fun for him

more paintings, blow them up and look at the stores, they are odd
Castle on the hill
Eric and Thomas
Just cause I like it
Part of an old monastery, I think

View from the castle
and the castle itself
