Český Krumlov IV

The five petaled rose is the flower of Český Krumlov and you see it everywhere.

Prague XX: Without Tourists

Wintertime in Freiburg, Germany

A few shots from November 29th in Freiburg, Germany. This was my friend's birthday, so I dedicate this post to her. I hope she had fun "Glühweining" her way through the Christmas Market!






Selling all things "bee" related. I remember having a beeswax candle for Christmas most years.



The kids find it magical (some of us adults do too).



J and I celebrate our anniversary each year by riding a carousel if we can find one. This year, the giant swing ride did the trick as a stand in.









Making Christmas cookies.









I love the cobblestone streets in this town!






The birthday girl.

Freiburg, Germany

I think one of the coldest days we endured this winter was spent in Freiburg, Germany. We walked all around downtown in the freezing cold and wind. I think it was worth it though. It's a beautiful town!






Running for the tram.












Notice the McDonald's? You don't see them like that in the States!






These guys must have been freezing their fingers off!

Lacoste I

We visited the beautiful old town of Lacoste in Provence. There is a chateau here that was owned by the Marquis de Sade and later bought by Pierre Cardin who holds cultural events there. It is also home to a branch of the Savannah College of Art and Design.

This was probably the hottest day we experienced this summer, but we still walked all around this city as well as several others!
