Florence on the Elbe

Woohoo free time!  While Monique went off somewhere to attempt to spend more money under the guise of needing wedding stuff, I went for a walk around Dresden.  They have some decent musical instrument shops around the Neustadt but nothing I needed.  The walk is is pretty decent over to the Altstadt.  I went past pretty much everything that would show up in a postcard of Dresden. -jp

Milling Around

4 08 2010

The rivers in Germany were really high while we were there due to the heavy rains.

I arrived in Germany and got picked up by Monique at the airport.  That’s service!  She didn’t bring a beer though.  Hmmm…  After milling around in Munich for a few days we drove up to Grossenhain by way of Vogtland. -jp

Am 4. August ist mein Jussi dann auch in Deutschland angekommen. Wir hatten paar schöne Tage in München mit unseren lange nicht gesehenen lieben Freunden und sind dann über’s Vogtland nach Großenhain gefahren. -mk

They call Dresden “Florence on the Elbe” but I have no idea why.  It’s much nicer than Florence.  It’s more picturesque, the people are friendlier, and it’s cheaper.  It’s also easier to find parking.

If they improved the food a bit then I’d never need to go to Italy again.
