Photos of Germany and Holland

This year has been quite the year for travel in my family. As of now, we have spent a total of FOUR MONTHS not at home since January. I feel quite sorry for Dad, who's off on another trip very soon. Anyway, all that to say, on our last trip, we flew to Germany and then Holland, and it was just too beautiful not to post pictures.

This was the view from our balcony in the room we stayed in. 


  Our place of boarding was a three minute walk from the train station.

 This was the old town gate. I would have loved to climb those stairs, but there was a padlocked grating at the bottom.

 There was only one old church building in the very small town, but it was a beautiful one. (the church we attended didn't meet there though)



 Above, this was the old Latin school, and though I can't quite remember what date it started, it was a long time ago.

 We visited the remains of a sort of fortress.



 This museum was only open on sundays and holidays, so unfortunately we didn't go to it.

 My sister, some friends of ours and I built a fort up in the woods in our spare time.

 We took the train quite a fair distance through Germany to get to Holland.
 We stayed in a small town with some friends.

On one of the days, we took a trip to Amsterdam to visit some art museums. It's a lovely city. 


















I think we all had a nice time on our trip, but as always it's great to be home. The flight back went pretty much without a hitch, so we were all very thankful for that after our outgoing flight had been such a hassle.
