N8 got to drive the van for the 'Wounded Warriors" on their weekday trip a couple Tuesdays ago to downtown Kaiserslautern. First they went to the Kaiserslautern dungeons. You had to crouch down to get into the tunnels. Here is a picture of N8 next to one of the tunnels to give you an idea of how small they are. Someone with claustrophobia would not do well here.
Here are a couple pictures of Chaplain S, who is about 5'4" or 5'5" walking through the tunnels. These tunnels are escape routes for the royalty that lived there.
When archeologists were excavating the tunnels, they found many graves. This is a picture of a real skeleton that they found while excavating. It was kind of creepy to see this actual open grave. The stone that makes up the walls of the grave were chipped away so that they could fit the body into it when they buried this person.
After they went to the dungeons, they went to the Protestant church in the city. It was big and very pretty.
This is a memorial inside the annex of the chapel. The statue for this memorial that N8 is standing by is a statue of Martin Luther.
This one is of Johannes Gutenberg.
His is a picture of outside of the chapel.
This is the oldest restaurant in Kaiserslautern. This restaurant has been there since the 1640s.
