The Denmark border is indicated by a series of crossing kiosks which are no longer in use and by several proud, colorful flags. The first flag is the red and white national flag of Denmark. I love this flag. I would have jumped out of the car, pulled it down…

She loves the bricks in Germany!
To begin, I'd like to mention that the title of this entry is accurate, but only to a point. I have actually loved the bricks everywhere. For all the talk I've ever heard about European architecture, the different styles and types and ages, I've never heard anyone reference the bricks.…
She loves the cows (lowing) in The Netherlands!

We just got back from feeding the kitties at Jon's parents' place. His folks are in Boston for the week, so we get to play with (and feed, I suppose) Sebastian and little Claude Monet. In just a couple of weeks Jon and I will be in Las Vegas, Nevada,…
