German Love

I am visiting Germany this week and am staying with my friend, Mary, who I met in Arkansas. Guenter, her husband, worked in Jonesboro for a year and a half. They have a very entertaining child, Leon, as well. I am enjoying my visit so far and have been reminded how much I love Germany. It is such a beautiful country! Unfortunately, I left my camera in France and do not know how many pictures I will be able to take. I have already seen so many things that are picture worthy that it is driving me crazy.

Eiffel in the Mist


I took this picture from the top of a building. It is usually pretty hazy in Paris, but I like this picture. It is a neat shot on a gloomy day.

Long Live the Doors!



This is Jim Morrison's gravesite. It is pretty unspectacular for a rock star. Located in a really famous cementary, Pere Lachaise, his site is really hard to find, mostly because it is so small compared to the rest of the "residents." He is behind a much bigger monument and there is a fence around his site to keep away unwanted graffiti artists. Many people have told me that he is in danger of being evicted because nobody is paying his rent.

Paris Skyline


Here is a view of Paris at dusk sans the Eiffel Tower. It was a really beautiful, hot day and I just happened to have my camera at the ready, so to speak.
