The hubs and I took a brief trip to Europe the week of the US elections. However, given that the news outlets in Germany are on top of broadcasting about world events, we could not avoid hearing & reading about the Trump win. Donald's mug adorned nearly every magazine & newspaper cover in Germany & German Switzerland. It was off-putting to see him 'round every corner, to say the least.

Highlights of the trip were jaunts to Basel, Konstanz & Zürich. Here are a few select photos--

I miss our life in Europe & would hope to return to live there, but, at present, a move does not seem feasible. Would that it were...!
That is my kind of trip Bea. I took a train through Switzerland but would love to go back and really have a visit. I bet it was gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteIt was lovely, if, however, very chilly! :D
DeleteHow very, very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAnd evocative. My father was German, but I have never visited his homeland.
Yes, this area of Germany and Switzerland is very charming. I have more pics from my mobile, some better & some worse, that I may put up in another post.
DeleteIt would be amazing if you could visit DE someday.
