More pictures than you ever wanted

Well, we've solved the camera cord issue. We're just going to get a new camera. What better time when gallivanting around Europe? Plus, my camera is aging and heading towards retirement. So...new camera! (I feel like I should tell Z some of my shoes and clothes are aging and heading towards retirement and see if that gets the same result)

Until then, I've been taking pictures on my iPhone and I can share THOSE. Sorry to any readers who are fully saturated in social media, because you've already seen some of these on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. But there's also some I haven't shared yet, including our trip to Bamberg (new favorite city; we'll take you there when you come visit)

Now, maybe I went overboard with posting all of these at once. Live and learn. I'll try to space them out more next time. Until then, grab your cup of coffee, maybe plan a few breaks, and enjoy!

So without further ado...Our European experience in pictures:

This is the biergarten at the hotel we stayed in our first two weeks in Germany...we loved sitting out here for dinner and a beer, enjoying the extra hours of summer daylight.

View from one of our favorite Italian restaurants. We sit outside almost everywhere we go to eat. It's one of my favorite things.

Zach deciphering the German menu. City Center of Bayreuth.

Church in Nuremberg. Stunning.

 We don't know what this is, but it's on the Starbuck's city mug of Nuremberg, so it's something important.

Farmer's market and a few shots in Nuremberg. The farmer's market is AMAZING...so many fresh, local fruits and veggies.

 The train station in our town. A short walk from our home...so convenient for travel!

 The Chicken Truck! Best chicken EVER. Also fresh eggs

 Our drive to the Bavarian Alps took us through TONS of hops fields. We had to google what kind of crop it was.

Prepare yourself for these next pictures. BREATH-TAKING views in the Bavarian Alps.

 Some pictures of our town...

 Our neighbors sell their potatoes!

 Pictures of our town as you're driving in...not the best quality (I blame the iPhone)

Bamberg! We took our bikes and trekked around the city; loved every minute. It was beautiful.

 He is my favorite :)

 We ate lunch here...precious.

 And last, but c'mon...certainly not least, we have found our favorite local beer (so far)...

Whew. Did you make it through? I'm exhausted. So there's our last few weeks at a glance. More to come!
