Holidaze in Saxony!

Oooo, I'm so excited. Berti and I have noticed a lack in recent weeks of Quality Time together; thus we just up and scheduled a week away, just us two, to Dresden in mid-August!

We've been to Dresden a couple of times in the past, but mostly for short visits for specific reasons, like a concert or seeing friends. This time, we're booking a B&B and just exploring the area. There's so much to see and do -- according to the Frommer's guide so thoughtfully supplied by my Mommy in 2006, just before I came to Germany, there are delicious eats, exclusive local beers and wines, lovely bicycle paths along the Elbe, and challenging hikes through the mountainous "Swiss Saxony." Not to mention the amazing museums, with Rafaels and Titians and Caravaggios in the Alte Meister gallery, and Arabic celestial globes from the 14th century in the Science and Mathematics Salon. And the opera! And theaters!

Eeeee, and all this with my very own Saxon. I want to go now!
