Berlin - Bavaria - Paris - Bastogne - Christmas Markets -- our German vacation was so full of spectacular sites, that I just would not be able to fit it all in one blog!

Beautiful!
What an amazing trip and wonderful History lesson. I would be overjoyed to be walking thru there where so much history took place. I would probably still be pinching myself to see if it was real, so I can understand why the last entry of the blog took a while to write. The church was absolutely beautiful, as well as the Advent calendar building. That would be so cool to watch the performances there every night. Thanks for sharing your adventure! :)
