Frankfurt Palmengarten [01271837641]
(M)(L)Goslings sleeping
Here are a few of the things that caught my eye on our second visit to the
Frankfurt Palmengarten
(botanical garden).
The photos that were the most fun to take were the goslings; I was
surprised that the parents (who were right nearby) didn't take much notice
of me, even when I got within 2-3 feet of their babies! The little ones
barely noticed me either. I took 200 images of them alone, so it was hard
picking just 3 to show here.

Frankfurt Palmengarten [01274060121]
(M)(L)Colorful orchid.
The Frankfurt Palmengarten on our first visit in early April. It was the last day of their annual orchid show, so we took lots of photos. I can't identify most of them, but they're still enjoyable to look at.

(M)(L)One of many camellias at the New Botanic Garden in Marburg.
We spent a day visiting Marburg, near Frankfurt, which is a wonderful town with lots of neat old architecture and a fantastic botanic garden.
Apfelwein Success [01275010168]
(M)(L)A glass of Apfelwein with sparkling water
At the start of the month I embarked on a project to
make Frankfurt-style apfelwein. Today Chris and I bottled the stuff, then
sampled it at dinner with Bill and AJ.
Dresden Photos [01279402354]
(M)(L)City of Dresden including
the Hausmannsturm and Hofkirche
What was supposed to be the final week of our journey was spent in
Dresden, visiting Ingrid's relatives. The weather was not as nice as the
rest of our trip, but we enjoyed seeing everyone and exploring both
familiar and new places. We also had some great meals, and had better
luck finding vegetarian food on this visit that in the past.
