Our first day in Schmiedefeld, we had absolutely gorgeous weather. We really hoped the rest of our time there would be just as wonderful but it started raining on day two and we refused to just stay inside. Thanks to the loads of brochures in the table of our guest...
I think I mentioned how incredibly gorgeous it is in this area...but you really can't grasp the natural beauty unless you see it yourself. I'm not even sure my photos did the area justice. It seemed that almost everywhere you looked, it was just so serene... and I'm...
Two weeks ago today we were woke up in our apartment in East Germany, ready to explore this unknown world. East Germany has a pretty bad reputation because a lot of places have become desolate and dilapidated in the past 10 years. We were near the Thüringer Wald...
Hello friends!! Wow, have I got some exciting stuff to share with you today! Last week, we took a little vacation and even though it's pretty warm at home...where we went there was SNOW! And lots of it. I could hardly even believe my eyes. And we didn't even have to...

As I've mentioned, we were down in Bavaria this past weekend visiting Stefan's parents. This is their house, rather typical for the area. I just love these houses with all the wood trim - they just look so classic. Naturally, we couldn't let the time go by without...
While we were in Bavaria this weekend, we went to a nice little restaurant called Schlossgasthof zur Einkehr [(Haggn 26, 94362 Neukirchen, Tel: (09961) 701170)]. It's a place the in-laws have been to several times and they always enjoyed it so we went to check it out....
We're off to Stefan's parents tomorrow. My mom hasn't been down to Bavaria while she's visited so she'll get to see something different...and some more of the family living in the area will get to meet Mack for the first time. There might be a bit more snow for Ayla...
