Speyer

On Sunday, October 15, after church, we drove (approximately 20 minutes south west of Heidelberg) to Speyer. Speyer is famous for its immense Romanesque Dom.






The day was beauiful! A warm fall day with lots of sunshine!










The Speyerer Dom is amazing and huge. Its style is quite different than the Munsters we had seen in Strasbourg and Freiburg the day before. Again, pictures just can't capture what we saw but here are our attempts...





















































Can you see Jeff and the kids at the front of the Dom?









These graves are Kaisers and Kings from the year 1000 to about 1400 AD. They are located under the front of the sanctuary.





























Another choir formed at the front of the sanctuary - this time a men's choir. They were excellent!
































We spent the rest of the afternoon strolling through the charming streets of Speyer.








We tried freshly roasted chestnuts ... MMMM!!









...and ended the afternoon with some wonderful ice cream (Ann - I had kokos!).
