I wake up this morning and I swear I hear someone screaming, so I think to myself, "I wish someone would do something about that screaming so I could go back to sleep." About an hour later the screaming was still going on so I thought I would get up to investigate. But when I went to stand up I took one step and fell on my face. Turns out that screaming was coming from my calves from all those stairs I climbed yesterday. I took a few meds and got ready to go.
Today I went to the town of Primasens, which is best known for it's shoe manufacturing. The marketplatz is a long walkway that had these interesting cobblestone layouts.

In the middle of the marketplatz is a large square that has this seven story tall waterfall/fountin with a huge bull at the top. Unfortunately the water was drained for the winter so I did not get to see it in it's glory. But I did climb up the eight thousand four hundred and sixty-three stairs to the top. There is this elaborate bull at the top with some awesome horns. I decided to curse Texas and then I spit in the fountain.

I also came across this elaborate fountain with this spier thing in the middle. Turns out that this is an elevator for the parking garage below.

Walking around I saw a sign that said there was a sculpturparke. Turns out it was a century old cemetery. Many of the headstones and markers were in disarray, broken or pushed over. Rather sad.

At the back end there was a monument to the war dead along with more markers.
I did these photos in black and white, I always feel it necessary to do cemetery photos in black and white. It makes me a little depressed.
I was pretty tired at this point, and Pirmanses didn't have too much more to offer. I was going to visit a museum but it closed at 2:00 PM. I decided just to go back to the house.
