photos!

So here are some pictures of my recent adventures with Cedric. I'm not sure why they are in reverse order, but nevertheless, here they are.


At Schloss Schoenbrunn in Wien, our final destination on our trip.


At Schloss Belvedere, where the Klimt paintings are.


At the restaurant Centimeter, where we ordered a sword full of meat. Fantastic.


At Neuschwanstein on a beautiful, fall day.

At the Alpensee near the grounds of Neuschwanstein.


On the highest point of the Untersberg.

After getting off the gondola, way above the clouds.
On the Monchsberg, in front of the Dom.

columns and pictures

Finally, I'm getting some pictures and columns up on the blog. The Internet wasn't working the greatest last night, but it's better today!

This first picture is of Cedric on the train when we finally got seats. We are on our way to Salzburg for the first time.

Here we are at Oktoberfest in the Hacker-Festzelt tent.


This is at our second journey to Oktoberfest on Sunday, 28. September. Behind Cedric are the masses of people.


On Monday Cedric and I went for a walk down Hellbrunn Allee and found Frohnburg, the palace that was used for the front of the von Trapp house in "The Sound of Music."


Here is Cedric at Mirabell, with the Festung and gardens behind him. This was after our first big bike ride.


We continued our journey across the river and stopped for another photo.



And here are some column links:
