anyway i'm sharing a ton of pictures, hope you enjoy them!
Dan checking in to the hotel, he looks pretty good after all those hours traveling!
half of the lobby area
one of our views
a courtyard view of our hotel Puro Hotel highly recommended!
lots of ancient architecture and some included in newer structures, really awe inspiring
more old buildings that survived the bombs from WWII
i noticed there were lots and lots of flowers everywhere!
these Gnomes were everywhere and all were representing something!
the pink building was a narrow apt bldg, so pretty!
typical salad there, pickled somethings, very good
Deciding on what to eat at one of Kipp's spots
we went with Perogies 3 different types and of course sauerkraut that was broiled and seasoned
Where Kipp worked
more of Kipp's co workers. they were the sweetest!!!!! and same old grey t shirt with polka dots as our luggage was lost for 2 days.
lots of eagles and lots of German influence throughout
there was so much pride in the food/service here, everything we ate everywhere was so pretty and so tastey!
exhausted but there was so much to see!
i'm obsessed with these gnomes and kept looking for them, which wasnt hard
as a surprise Kipp got us a lock and key like they do in Paris, so sweet of him and here Dan and i signed it, locked it and threw the keys away!
this was just stunning! a HUGE dragonfly on a bldg, its wings stained glass
at a university overlooking the city
we were laughing at this beer truck with a hose leading to the restaurant down the street!!!!
Love all the flowers and what an inspiring place. The gnomes are great! It's like the "Where is Waldo" game!
