SNAPSHOTS FROM EUROPE	09.28.09

Traditionally I like to visit Europe at least once a year. We eat lots of amazing food and visit my family near Frankfurt, Germany. Every time I go there we try to visit new countries and places where I have never been before. I’m so fascinated with everything about Europe. The food is out of this world. Why can t we have bread or beer or cheese or gummy bears like the Germans do? Did I mention the sausages? Candace will do a more in depth food related post on her blog soon. This year we visited Frankfurt, Prague, Vienna and Munich. I think Munich in my new favorite place in Germany. I was a little bummed out when we had to come back right before the October fest started on 9/16. Next year I will make sure we are there for it. Did you know that Germany is the only country that refers to itself as “fatherland”? True fact.

Anyway I took 700 images on this trip (not counting all those I shared on Facebook) so here are a few of my favorites. Check out my 2008 Eurotrip here & here.

If you go to Vienna and you dont have this chocolate cake at hotel Sacher….than you will miss out big time. I had 2 pieces.

The Vienna Prater…The biggest and oldest Giant Ferris Wheel


Did NOT buy an (empty) can of  Vienna air for 4 euros.

Awesome detail in the roof tile at Stephansdom

View from our hotel room in Prague


Prague at night. Charles Bridge.






Killer architecture in Prague (old part)


Ladies, dont bring high heels if you plan on visiting Prague. In the old town the roads looked like this. Amazing.

Frankfurt, Old Romer.

And a rare image of yours truely…
