Ulm Cathedral, September 6th

Our travels for the day started in the city of Ulm, birthplace of Albert Einstein. We arrived in the morning and only stayed long enough to see the Ulmer Münster. This gothic cathedral, which took over 500 years to build, is absolutely amazing, and is the tallest church in the world. We toured the beautiful interior, then Bill and Billy climbed the 768 steps to the top of the steeple. This place is a must-see for anyone visiting the area.
