Tomorrow I return......
Tomorrow I return to Paris....for fivedays.....so excited I can barely sleep.
My train leaves Frankfurt at 1 pm and arrive sometime before 5 pm, just in time for dinner. (Where will we go...the choices, I am dreaming about Parisian bistros! )
Tomorrow I travel with a wonderful friend and we are joined by two more friends Saturday morning. (Sadly) they return to Frankfurt on Sunday night, leaving me alone in Paris until Tuesday evening.......
Life is beautiful sometimes...

Beautiful and broody Dresden;this city broods a bit, but it is entitled too.
Its been all too long.....travels to Australia, friends staying with me, showing them around Germany, but last weekend I achieved something I have been wanting to do for a very long time; I saw Dresden! Once the beautiful capital of Saxony, known for its culture and of course Porcellain, it was completely destroyed by air raids. It lay neglected for decades under the Communists.
Such a tribute to the Reunification of Germany, Dresden is once again resembling the beautiful baroque jewel it once was. Walking the streets, looking up at the dome of the Frauenkirche which took 16 years to rebuild, gazing upon the Zwinger palace and crossing the Elbe to glance back at the startling, stunning rebuilt skyline it is hard to hold back the tears....a tribute to humanity...Dresden...life is beautiful sometimes...
