saturday afternoon

The Czech and I spent a lovely, cold, rainy July afternoon with an old friend of mine from the Brussels days. N is from this area and it is so fun to catch up with her after so many years. We returned to the "Pink Palace" and wandered the extensive park and gardens. The grounds are breathtaking and I continuously marvel at the German ability to harmoniously mesh nature with civilization. I plan on coming back here, at least once, to wander around the grounds and soak everything in.
