The Schumann's garden has a little 'house' with a kitchen, toilet and sitting area. Rent is something like 80 euro a year!

The boat is not heeling because of my weight!

Though the clouds threatened, we had just a few drops of rain. It made for dramatic scenery!
Two of Germany's greatest contributions to the good life: weisse beer, and bretzels! We just couldn't get enough of either.

Mila fell asleep. That's good, because she kept the wine bottle upright.
Careful, Teresa! I think that old bird is eyeing your pizza!
