By the time you read this, I will be in Berlin…probably dog tired from jet lag. So I picked the balloons to stamp fror this post, signifying my absence. YAY for vacations! Berlin is an interesting city. Parts of it are still so poor (which is rare in Germany), but you still have to take into account that it was in East Germany until really not that long ago, so given that it is such a big city, it will take longer to build wealth consistently. One of the other past East German cities we will visit is Dresden. Now I have to tell you, that given the opportunity, I would live there. There is something about Dresden that I find so magnetic. I guess there isn’t one particular thing, but I have a strong inkling that for me it is the layout of the city. Not to mention the magnificent opera house and museum right next to each other. I guess it helps that it almost has a neighborhood feel to it. Here are some of the pictures we took of the girls in both places two years ago:
Writing their name on the Berlin Wall.
The girls throwing stones into the pond in Dresden. Well… Wish us luck on the trip. We are in charge of 40 kids over there, so hopefully all will go well.

Very cute balloon scene. Wow, I haven’t visited Berlin since my grandmother died, she lived there. And watch those 40 kids around the china factories in Dresden.
Fabulous card! I can’t wait until this stamp set arrives… Aahhh, so this is why the summer is back in Germany! You’re over here
Enjoy your trip!
Hope you have a great trip! Your girls are adorable!!!
My husband is very jealous of you right now!! He used to live in that area & loved it. Hopefully one day he will get to go back & visit. Thanks for sharing your pics & story. I’m sure you’ll make him smile today!!!!

Hi Becky,
I am from Germany. And I live only 150km distance to Berlin. You´re right it is great here in Germany. Hope you´ll have a great time in Dresden. And if I had known that you come to Germany we had met us at the “Brandenburger Tor” in Berlin.
Bye Irene
