A Silent Night Day

The thermometer in Oberndorf, where Stille Nacht (Silent Night) was written, said minus three. Very cold!! It was a lovely town but we had to stop in a couple of grocery stores and cafes to get warm during our walk around town. Here is one pic for the day. Tomorrow morning we take the train back to Munich and then the next morning, leave for home.

Later note: I took this picture as I was passing by thinking it may be the church where Silent Night was written but I was wrong. A little later, I saw that the actual place was a few steps away from it, a tiny, round chapel with only three pews on each side, and lovely stained glass windows. Before we went in, a group was in there singing Stille Nacht and it sounded so pretty, even holy, as we stood quietly waiting in the bitter cold.
