Further adventures in Germany

We continue to enjoy our time in Germany and have been visiting some sights and enjoying the lovely, warm weather. We went to Leipzig in the north-east to visit some friends a few days ago and had a lovely long weekend with them. Here are some photos:

Leipzig is where Back spent many years as Cantor at this church

A beautiful park in the center of the city

the children with their friends on one of the many lovely bridges over the river that runs through Leipzig

Some monkeys at the Leipzig zoo!!

Now for some photos of back "home" in Tubingen. This is a beautiful fountain in front of a beautiful building in the Aldstadt

We went on a stocherkahn which literally means a stick boat....like they have in Venice! Not quite as romantic but great fun!

Our view as we went down (or up...not sure!) the Neckar River which runs right through Tubingen

This one is back in Leipzig eating some authentic, German pretzels

And at an ice cream shop (one of many we have frequented!) in Leipzig

Our time in Germany is running out but we continue to enjoy nice, warm weather and beautiful scenery! We head off to Frankfurt next week to spend a few days before heading back to Edinburgh where we will welcome some family from Canada for the month of August.
