Dresden

Ich bin in Dresden. Germany is different than Poland in many ways, and though we still know we are in Europe, we've obviously changed customs, governments, etc. We have also rendezvoused with our fiends Grady and Laurie, and their 2 year old son, Jake. Madeline and Jake are getting along well, and MK is thankful to be around other people. Some playtime:



Our flat in Dresden is very nice, and very spacious. Parking is interesting, though (ours is on top...)


Fair warning: I'll do absolutely no justice to the history of Dresden. Our wanderings today reflect a city that was the center of opulence and destruction. Read about the Green Vault and WWII. A few shots of the old town that houses the Dresden Castle and various other buildings - more on the Frauenkirche below.






The Frauenkirche (church of St. Mary) is quite the building- the inside equally astounding.




Sometimes, even in Germany, things don't go exactly how you want, and you have to stop and pout. It's worse if dumb old dad insists on taking pictures.


Tomorrow - we go to Karlovy Vary in the Czech Republic. I don't know how much wifi we'll have, so we might have to wait until Stuttgart for an update.
