Orange you glad I didn't wait another week to post?

Hiya everybody!!! Boy, when I go more than 7 days without posting, the natives start to get restless. Well, fear not, good natives....here it is.

As I said in my last post, I spent New Year's Eve with my friend Jamie in Munich. It was a great trip to a new city. Below is a picture of the city hall at the Marienplatz in the old city of Munich.



I didn't take all that many pictures in Munich. It was rainy and not very good picture-taking conditions. Thankfully, though, it was clear on New Year's Eve and I was able to take some video of the craziness of the amateur fireworks. For all its laws a regulations, Europe apparently has no issues with Joe Shmoe (or Friedrich Shmoe, as the case may be) gathering with hundreds of his friends and shooting off whatever they want. It was total chaos...and it was a blast! Enjoy.

Here's another video that I found on YouTube of the same event taken from across the Plaza from we were standing:

On Saturday, I went to really cool place. It's an old walled, midieval city called Rothenburg. It's about 2 1/2 hours from where I live, by car. I went with a couple friends from work and it was well worth the trip! I've posted a coulpe pictures here and included a link to the whole photo album on Yahoo.
The old city or Rothenburg is completely walled. It's georgeous!

Here's the rest of the pictures:
