Pictures from the Sibling Germany Festival

Hi! I finally edited and captioned the heck out of our pictures from the trip with Chuckie and Elaina around Germany. Unfortunately, Jeremy and I forgot our camera in the hotel room in Heidelberg (note that I didn't say that I forgot the camera. Just trying to be fair).

Here are a few pictures from Chuckie and Elaina's fancy-pants-super-professional-and-makes-all-our-pictures-look-like-a-six-year-old-drew-them camera:

Enjoy!

(Kathy, I had to do simultaneous translation for them too-- now that my German is better, I found out that people used a sort of tea-ball filled with blood-soaked cotton tucked away in their wigs to trap the ever-present ticks and lice. Aren't you glad you now know that?)

Wow! Chuckie has more gray hairs than me!

The pictures are wonderful! I enjoyed the ones of my children and the gardens the most. I'm glad that you had this time together.

Sorry, correction because my writing was ambiguous: we forgot the camera in the hotel room in Heidelberg for the day we were walking around Heidelberg-- we did not permanently leave the camera in said hotel room.

I enjoyed your pics-you are really getting to see lots of germany. now you have to get to aachen, preferably in a raging snowstorm so you can appreciate the shelter of the cathedral!
I enjoyed your scenes around neuschwanstein (sic) castle. Me,Judie, Herb, Paula and the gang were there in early feb- no leaves on the trees, some snow on the road up to the castle, so the views were not nearly as beautiful. I don't remember the lake, but it may have been iced over.... Too bad you didn't go into the castle- it was really incredible. So many precursors of our modern conveniences. I have pictures of the houses in the little town near there, too. They were so clean and neat, even in winter!
Glad you all had a great time! Wish i could come back!
