Snapshots of 7 months' past

Words are great, but sometimes I just want to watch...just sit back.  Thank goodness CNN.com has videos as well as reports.  Consider this my gift to the visual learner in all of you.  The following are a selection of my favorite photos or memories from the last seven months.  

Welcome to Bremen, Meaghan.

Schnoor Viertel, Bremen

Summer.

High flying.

Brouwerij (Brewery) 't IJ, Amsterdam.

Facts of the Life:  Northern Germany is completely flat; German trains go fast; Sunsets will always be beautiful.

Munich, Bavaria

Manchmal ein bisschen Spaß ist in Ordnung...Sometimes fun ist just necessary.

Some traditions just don't die...even after 800 years--Freimarkt in Bremen

Art takeover in historic Berlin building.

Christmas Markt in Bremen, in front of Town Hall

The real reason I traveled to Nuremberg for the Christmas Markt--Lebkuchen.

Icy Hamburg.

Hamburg Town Hall and Christmas Markt

Old and just unendingly charming.   Milan, Italy.

Turino, Italy

Sometimes wonderful things happen and you get visitors.

Then sometimes your brother flys from Los Angeles.

And then sometimes you're the luckiest little American in all of Germany.


There, now you know what my life has looked like. :)
