Wangen -Again

 In the Summer

We went to Germany for our church service, and had a sister along, so we did a walk about to show her the historic town center. First, a walk along the River and the city walls.

 Sister Visit

When she finished her 1000km. Camino in Spain, she came yo see us and is now considering the Swiss portion. The Swiss Jacobsweg (the Pilgrimage route) goes through St. Gallen, so we went to see it. Pilgrimages go to the main churches, of course, so we went there. There are the scallop shells on streets and signs and in front of the cathedral showing the way.

Fountains are dressed for summer.
