Right after Christmas, we the members of Team USA had a week off, so we decided to do some traveling. Jo, John, and Edward took on Brussels, Bruges, and Amsterdam; Adrienne stayed local; and Miriam and I went to Germany. It’s an interesting choice, I suppose, since neither of us speak German, but fortunately, we had a good friend who was willing to help us out.
Amy spent almost the entire week with us, introducing us to some fine German food, villages, and friends. She shared her home with us and showed us where she works. Amy, the best part of the trip was without a doubt spending time with you, whether we were watching Betty und ihre Schwestern or eating meat off the bone at a medieval restaurant. Thank you for an incredible trip.

We've been awake for almost 24 hours, but we're still
inordinately excited to see Gutenberg. |

Castle Braunfels (and yes, Dad, this is the namesake of
that city in the Lone Star State that you are doubtlessly
thinking of right now) |

We went to Köln for New Year's, and this is the sight that
greeted us as soon as we stepped outside the train station. |
