Leipzig

In between Erfurt, Eisenach, and Wittenburg, we spent the evening in Leipzig. The next morning before we left for Wittenburg and on to Berlin, we spent time at the St. Thomas Lutheran Church to pay homage to Johann Sebastian Bach. Bach spent about 25 years as the choirmaster and organist at St. Thomas. It was another rainy day, but most of our time was spent inside the church, and then on to Wittenburg and finally Berlin. By then the weather had improved. St. Thomas was well worth the time to an admirer of Bach such as myself.
