Leipzig and J.S. Bach

One of my favorite composers is J. S. Bach and we decided to do a bit of a detour to see the Church where he was Music director and where he is also buried in the church. It was worth it for me. I have played his music on piano and organ since I was 9 years old.

Thomaskirche
We found the Thomaskirche (St. Thomas Church) where there is a square, a statue and the tomb in the nave of the church. Weather was cooler and much appreciated.

Ribe to Tarm, Denmark

Ribe, Denmark We headed out on a nice sunny morning from Hamburg to Denmark. We wanted to stop in Ribe which is the oldest town in Denmark dating back to the 8th Century. It has a nice cathedral, old 16th century buildings and great pølser hot dogs! After a stop in Ribe, we headed out to Tarm, also on Jutland to visit friends and overnight there. We had lots of cold wind and rain on our next day in Tarm, but enjoyed some good meals and wine.
