Rothenburg is a well-preserved medieval town with an intact town wall and many buildings dating from the 1200-1300s. Although it is touristy, it's also incredibly charming and you can't help but feel that the overpriced souvenirs and crowds of tourists are a small price to pay for its picture-perfect medieval feel. We visited Kathe Wolfhart's Christmas store, a multileveled extravaganza of moving Christmas displays, trees, and millions of ornaments. From an overlook in the store, you can look down on a sea of Christmas trees and other holiday fare that is sure to rival the North Pole itself. After shopping, we walked along the town wall and stopped into one of the bakeries to sample the Schneeball (snowball), a local specialty that looks like a dry ball of pastry crust. It is available in a variety of flavors including chocolate dipped and sprinkles. We opted for the more traditional powdered sugar variety. It tasted better than it looked, with a buttery flavor and smoother texture than I expected.
For dinner that night we picked up some fantastic pizzas with a variety of ingredients including tuna fish and ham. Since we were only a few hours from the Italian border, nearly every village had an authentic pizzeria.
Kevin got right on our request and had us booked within the week

The info on the website was laid out very well. I did some comparisons with other tours and found Adventure Life met a lot of what I wanted in an Antarctica trip at the cheapest price. Requested a quote on Claudia contacted me right away. She answered a lot of questions the I had via email even though she offered to discuss via phone call. I’m more of an email person so appreciated how she accommodated that and answered all my questions. And when I was ready to book, she quickly got the ball rolling with getting our spots reserved on the trip my friend and I wanted. Thanks again, Claudia!

(1) great information on the website and throughout all the "materials." (2) Jane Packer is great: knowledgeable, responsive, takes a personal interest and tone, seems to care about the customer as a person not a sale.

For our first trip to Costa Rica, Adventure Life designed a tour that meets the interests, ecological and adventure, of our party; but also takes into account our physical limitations sine we are all septuagenarian. We are looking forward to the trip.
