Pictures and Things

Hi all,

It is our last day in Angers and we will be sad to leave. The non-stop sweatpants and TV watching have been a welcome taste of home, and a relaxing break from the hustle and bustle we are normally used to. We have also eaten like kings. It has been so nice to have an actual kitchen and I realized how much I actually miss cooking and doing dishes. At the same time we are excited to move on to Switzerland, however not so excited about the 12 hour train ride it will take to get there. Anyway, I had meant to post fantastic pictures of our trip so far, but with our camera situation, or lack there of, I will post a variety of pictures taken from Dave's iPhone and Bryan's camera. Enjoy.

These are our Canadian/Australian friends we met in Berlin. Somehow we ended up at this fantastic, mostly outdoor bar when the plan was to head to a Berlin famous club. We were pretty happy with the decision. 

This is Amsterdam, where the streets are lined with rivers and bicycles. These pictures are actually taken in the Red Light District, where off in the distance there are live sex shows and windowed ladies.

  This is Paris. Our hostel was a short walk from the Eiffel tower and we spent a fair amount of time there. The first picture is of the Louvre, and the second is at Gare de Lyon, just before meeting Dave's uncle Gregg for dinner.

 These are some of the hives I got during the trip. It may be hard to see but I have about 30 little dots on my arms alone. The itching has finally subsided and the dots are disappearing. 

This is Angers. We had a picnic of bread wine and cheese in the park the second day we were here. Somehow the baguette has made it into all of these pictures, but that is not all that surprising considering most of what we have eaten has been bread and cheese on this French adventure. 

This was our Thanksgiving meal, a week late but who cares? Roast chicken, mashed potatoes, yams and vegetables. And who can tell if a pie is from the bakery if it still comes out of the oven?

That's the best we can do for now. I still have this ridiculous secret hope that our camera will be found, but we will get a new one soon. Until then you will have to go on your imaginations my friends. I will write another post upon the entry into Switzerland, when I have more to write about than baguettes and sweatpants. (We love you Taryn and Bryan! Most fantastic hosts ever)

Much love,

Sarah
