Where to Now?? Part 2

    It has been a month since I blogged, but I haven't forgotten my epic two weeks in Germany!   Here is the continuing, though interrupted, review of impressive sightseeing!
We spent an afternoon in the historical town of Meissen where even the water drains, imbedded in cobble stone, are classy.

REFLECTIONS
     The past 4 weeks have been doused with rain, with an occasional warm, lovely day just to keep us hopeful.  It seems my creative flow gets bogged down in such weather and I don't feel like blogging.  More professionally, I will call it "writer's block".  Sounds impressive.  Another term for me is "lazy brain".  More honest.
     I'm very gratified with my trip to Germany.  It has given me back my "flying legs" and confidence I can still connect with the outside world.  However, it is taking me several weeks to settle back into daily routine.  Sure is fun to go through the pictures and relive the adventure!
    These past few weeks have been busy, though.  I did a lot of  house and garage cleaning, with help of grandson Zach.   And trying to turn the jungle outside into cultivated mini yards when the weather allows.  I am anticipating summer and special company coming out!

This has been a good 4 GeoGram weeks in the life of Gram G.
