More Pictures From my Trip to Germany & Austria

It is so hard to choose which of my photos are my favorite.  After all, I do have more than 2,500 to choose from!

This is the town hall in Munich.  Everyday at noon and 5:00pm the Glockenspiel can be seen. 
The dome of the Frauenkirche in  Munich.  The church was started in 1468 and completed in 1494 and the towers added in 1525.

The Pestsaule in Vienna to remember the 75,000 people who died in 1679 from the bubonic plague.
The Golden Roof in Innsbruck, Austria - so royalty could observe the goings on in the city.
Downtown Innsbruck.  This was my daughter's favorite city.  A beautiful city at the base of the mountains.
Ariel view of the bridge in Heidelberg.

Blackberry Slump

I made this delicious blackberry slump with locally grown blackberries.  It was a bit tart, but with whipped cream it was fabulous!

Berlin

I have always wanted to visit Berlin.  It is such a historic and vibrant city.
This is the Kaiser Wilhelm church.  It was bombed in 1943 and is now a memorial and Berlin's famous landmark.
The Brandenburg Gate
Section of the Berlin Wall that was left in tact as a reminder of what once was.
Checkpoint Charlie signs.
