Bavaria and Cologne

For the second half of my Carnaval vacation I went to the region of Franconia in northern Bavaria. It was absolutely beautiful.

Würzburg








As you can see, it was a lovely trip. 

Last Friday I went to Cologne (Köln am Rhein) again. This time there were neither a layer of three inch snow nor Christmas markets, so it was different.

This was also a very nice day trip.
Fun times in Germany.

HAPPY SPRINGTIME!!!!
Even here spring is starting to reveal itself. People are starting to wear shorts, and we're getting highs in the 60s! Time is wearing thin for my exchange to prod on. More on Antwerp later. Goodbye!
