Gateway to old Munich--the last shot my broke-ass digital camera managed to take before dying completely. - PICT0117
For some reason (I'm guessing beer), the girl we got to take this on our beer garden tour thought we would rather have just a picture of us than a picture of us AND the liter of beer in a giant barrel of a glass in front of us. (sigh) There is one exciting feature of this shot: my purse strap sunburn. - PICT0116
In the one store in all of Northern Europe that carried Dr Pepper... - PICT0115
The view from our Munich hostel. - PICT0114
Sarah collapses in the Munich hostel. - PICT0113
I'm sure this statue signifies something deep about risk-taking or something, but to me he looked disturbingly like a memorial to suicide jumpers. - PICT0112
Sarah with flutes! (Her legacy from the band days.) - PICT0111
Bagpipes! (of some sort) For Cameron. - PICT0110
...airplanes - PICT0109
Boats and planes. - PICT0108
Leslie and Sarah inside the museum, by a big boat. Taken by a woman who didn't know how to hold the camera still. - PICT0107
Me in front of the science and industry museum and some river we never quite caught the name of. Notice the garish yellow visor, bought in a moment of delerium to keep the sun off my pale little face. - PICT0106
All these big grey buildings in northern Europe had beautiful red flowers in the windows, which I thought were just lovely. - PICT0105
Pole in the center of the market: another example of why I don't like the German aesthetic. - PICT0104
Outdoor market we stumbled upon. - PICT0103
Same place. - PICT0102
Inside the pretty German building. Sarah looks out the window by some stained glass. - PICT0098
A pretty German building of some sort, that is now being used mostly as a conference center. We wandered around inside and considered crashing some talks on personal organization. - PICT0097
Or a catfish. Catfish are cool. - PICT0096
It's 8 a.m. in Munich--what would you do? Probably take a picture with a boar statue, too. - PICT0095
Our train buddies--four guys from Dallas. Well, three in the picture. - PICT0094
We looked out our train window as we passed Cologne in time to see a dream-like cathedral, which i photographed badly as we passed. - PICT0092
In our sleeper compartment, Sarah consults Let's Go, our bible, while some Lake Highlands kid looks on. - PICT0087
I took this one in a hurry and couldn't quite capture the horror of these stairs up to Kacee's apartment--very typical in Amsterdam. Narrow, steep, and shallow. Not pretty to get bikes up and down. - PICT0086
Sarah, Kacee, and Josh sit down to our last dinner--delicious salmon. - PICT0084
Deciding I need to lighten my load, I drop four shirts and a legal pad out the window. Kacee assures me that someone will pick it up for use within 15 minutes. She's right. - PICT0082
Main gallery. - PICT0081
Rembradt's Nightwatch, probably the most famous in the museum. - PICT0079
In the Rijksmuseum, the huge national museum. Much of it was closed to get rid of asbestos, eek, but the highlights were open. - PICT0077
Sarah stocks up on snacks. Mmmm, stroop wafels...
