The Third Domino has been placed.

To seek this domino you must travel to Rothenburg, Germany. This is a place that is worth a visit even if you are not hunting dominoes. There are parts of this town that date back to the late 900s and no, there is not a 1 missing from the beginning of that date. Rothenburg was once a medieval walled city. The part of the city where the domino is located is not that old but it has some history of its own. I'll let you look up the history between the 900s and WW II. That's where the history of our part of the wall begins. The Allies bombed the city in 1945. About 40% of the city was destroyed including the eastern wall. The rest of the city was spared and, again, I'll let you look it up. Eventually, the city wanted to rebuild the wall and sent out an appeal around the world for funds to do so. People from all over sent money and all those that did now have their name engraved on stones that went into the new section of the eastern city wall. You can walk the ramparts about 3/4 of the wall around the city but as you do so, pay attention to those engravings. When you come across one that speaks of the George Pal production of The Brothers Grimm in 1961, you are very near domino #3. Above you and to the left of the engraved stone is a wooden roof beam/support/truss (I forget the correct building term) that crosses the walk. The domino is in an organza drawstring bag to the left on top of the beam.

Let me know if you find it, please and I hope you enjoy(ed) the rest of Rothenburg!

The Second Domino has been placed

The city I was looking for in the clue I gave previoulsy is Brugge (or Brugges or Bruge), Belgium. To find the domino you need to climb to the top of the Belfry in the Market Square. It'll cost you 5 Euro to do so. (And no, I am not getting any kickbacks on that). Once you have climbed as far as you are allowed, you'll be in with all the bells and they are behind a wire cage like structure. At the top of the steps go to your right then continue around the bell cage as far as you can. Go to the last vertical timber. The 2nd domino is between the timber and the wall (not the cage) and on top of a small board about 6 or 6.5 feet up. I'm 5.5 feet tall and had to reach above my head a bit to place the domino. The domino is in a silver/gray organza drawstring bag. Please email me if/when you have found it.

If you are reading this because you happened across the Rose Red Domino, Congratulations! You have just become part of a world wide scavenger hunt. Read the previous posts if you want to play along. Even if you don't want to play along, please email me so that I can let others know that #2 has been found and is out of circulation. Thank you.
