ReplyDeleteI just thought of this, did you know that Julia Childs lived in Germany for awhile? She lived in Plittersdorf at 3 Steubenring according to her book, My Life In France. Later they moved to Oslo, Norway before returning to America.
ReplyDeleteWith all your adventures, you need to write a book filled with your beautiful photography and then I will read it and blog about it and live vicariously through your writing. :)
OH, and I am curious, can you explain what in the world a locks of love bridge is?
You MUST go to Salzburg, Austria and sing "The Hills Are Alive" on the cheesy-but-awesome Sound of Music tour. LOVED it!!!
