When Mama Comes to Town

We took off the last ten days while my mother was visiting. Today is her last full day here, and tomorrow, we will take her to the airport to go home again. We did lots of stuff while she was here:

We went to Strasbourg in the Alsace Region of France. 




carousel built in 1900

We visited two concentration camps: Dachau and Flossenburg:

We visited a local chocolate factory and a local castle ruins.




such a cool candy shop!

We went to Rothenburg, Germany, on the Romantic Road.




watching animated figures at the Kathe Wohlfahrt store

And we went to Oktoberfest in Munich!!!










My VERY first German beer. The only beer I've ever liked.
