hello dearest readers:)
I am back from both
chilly but festive Germany
and warm and adorable Greece
Wow.
my sister and I had the
best.time.ever.
and every day felt wrapped in the father's embrace
that He in His mercy and kindness would allow us to experience something so special together.
below are some pictures of the town of Dusseldorf in Germany.
our sweet family lives there, and they were seriously the most generous and warm hosts!
it was freezing in Germany,
but their flat was so so cozy and cute, and we spent our evenings warm and toasty playing games, watching movies, and sharing stories.
lots of laughter abounded!!
the Fall colors were absolutely stunning,
and the magical Christmas decorations began to go up while we were there!
it was all so enchanting.
one thing I don't think I realize about Germany was how heavily bombed they were during WWII.
much of the old cities were destroyed {which is really so sad}
so I was surprised that Dusseldorf really was quite a modern looking city.
it was fun to explore both the old and modern architecture.
and of course the food was absolutely a delight to try!
food truly is culture, and we were bathing in it!
Our cousins took us to a fun food market where we try the local delights.
yum!
enjoy the beginning of many pictures to come:)
