Dresden

Situated by the river Elbe in south eastern Germany, Dresden is the capital of the State of Saxony and also one of the most beautiful baroque cities in Europe. Often called 'Florence of the North' the city boasts a city center full of interesting sand stone buildings from the baroque era (17th/18th) century which have been beautifully restored.

Finally vacation time!

Family ties

After all this traveling to foreign places, its good to come back to family. Pictures are taken in Dresden / Germany with Patrick and Uroma.

Bye bye and Thank You Bavarian Alps!

Maerchenpfad Bischofswiesen

This 1 mile trail through the forest displays fairy tales and other magic figures carved into trees.

A lot of fun for the kids to explore!

Water abound

Its had been raining a lot this summer and the rivers were quite lively. These pictures were taken in the Kimmbachtal, where the walkway was an extended bridge so it wouldn't get swept away.
