After my car requires three jump starts, we make it to a parts shop and Bryan changes the battery in the parking lot. - IMG 4640
Standing in front of our building, looking down the block on our last evening. - IMG 4643

We wait at the general store in Copperopolis, CA. - IMG 4639
Our brauerei under the train tracks, site of our last meal. We would have taken you here if you'd come to visit. - IMG 4650
Yes, we've skipped all the gorgeous nature shots and are now on the way home from camping, when my car decided to stop running entirely. - IMG 4634
We pack up! - IMG 4638
- IMG 4652
Yes, there it is. (We were lucky that Bryan was able to roll into the parking lot rather than pull over on the side of the highway where the car shut down.) - IMG 4631
Another vegetable-based meal, featuring those yellow mushrooms with the unpronounceable German name that were in season. - IMG 4646
I hope that plastic tasted good. - IMG 4636
This was one of the three things the owner of the flat had hanging on the wall. Creepy? - IMG 4654

Big tower in honor of Prussian military victories. Pock-marked with bullet holes, like everything 50+ years old in Berlin. - IMG_4624.JPG
Bryan spots an armadillo in a fanciful sculpture. I think there's at least a 50% chance the artist thought it was a mythical creature. - IMG_4605.JPG
yes, very free-form - IMG_4570.JPG
Make-your-own mosaic inside Marienkirche, the second-oldest church in Berlin - IMG_4603.JPG
