Worms!

While friends were visiting we took a day trip to Worms, which is a great little city to visit. It is most famous as being the location of the trial of Martin Luther where he was declared a heretic. It has a beautiful Romanesque cathedral, a Jewish cemetery that survived the war, and a rebuilt synagogue and museum of Jewish life. One can also visit a museum to the Nibelungenlied, which left me a bit baffled.
