Sweet Days of Summer

I'm a summer baby- which means, I guess, that summer is in my blood. As much as I LOVE Christmas time, I relish this season in a different way than all others.

Some of my favorite summer things:

1. Cherries in a bag (fast food - the old fashioned way!)





2. Our summer time Birthday parties! (In this case Geordan's at Nawaab)

3. Getting to go visit friends in new places! (With Matt, Meghan and Jeremy in Starnburg)


4. Long evening meals with good friends (preferably in the garden)




5. Traveling!!! This is beautiful Munich or 'Munchen'

Just look at these May poles!

6. Funny things that you stumble across while traveling!


Do you notice anything about these sunbathers?? Look just a bit closer and you will see what WE saw when we found ourselves amongst a bunch of nude sunbathers smack in the middle of the largest park in the city center of Munich!

Holiday Pictures




















Just a few pictures from our wonderful trip. Most are images from Bavaria- land of beer, pretzels and leiderhosen. There are a few shots of a match, and supporters singing and cheering in the city center of Munich. Another is us drinking a "Russian" (Russen) - which is 2/3 lemonade and 1/3 weissbeer at Andech's Monastary - where making beer has been the monk's primary source of income for hundreds of years. And the one of the iron gate is at the 'work camp' Dachau, where the inscription on the gate reads "work will set you free".
