Europe Day 9 Thursday, October 21st, 2010










After yesterdays big day of being in the car today was a total work day for Troy and I did some laundry. I know, right, laundry in Europe, UGGGG. So needless to say there wasn't to much to take photos off. You seen on laundry room, you've seen them all. But it just wouldn't be right to not take any photos on day 9 in Europe so we took some of ourselves. Tomorrow will be our last day together in Europe.

View from our hotel skylight. So sad it is raining.
Name of our cute hotel.
Part of our hotel. As I was taking the photo, I realized there were people in the window of the one room. They closed up everything right after I took this photo. Who knew I was really the paparazzi.

The front of our hotel.
Building across from our cute hotel.
Outdoor patio.
Outside eating patio at our hotel. So beautiful even in the rain. I loved the statue. Notice the thighs, they aren't scrawny, there full. Love it.
Most of the buildings still have the white metal roll downs to cover the windows from WWII.
I think this sign says the name of the place we were staying in, but I'm not totally sure of where we even were staying. Crazy!
Watch tower still stands from the days of the Berlin Wall.
Flying on the Autobahn!

Graffiti here, graffiti there, graffiti everywhere.
Troy working by way of his phone.

Today I was suppose to sight-see around town while Troy worked and I woke up to the sound of rain:( Bummed. We were only going to be here long enough for the guys to do some work then we were back on the road headed to the Netherlands. Lots of car time and the only photos I got today were right around our hotel.

Europe Day 7 Tuesday, October 19th, 2010

Our hotel in Warburg.

Inside the lobby of our hotel from the loft breakfast area.
The table below was where we had the most delicious food of my life. It was beautiful.
The view from our hotel loft eating area.
Tour of Warburg.

The wall that you see was the original wall that protected the castle that use to be there in the 14oo's.
A beautiful sitting area.
Famous Artist who lives there.
Turns out after our tour, I realized his art was displayed in our hotel.

This is where people got there food for the day, fresh.
Loved Warburg, but then it was time to go on to the next town.
This was the next hotel we found ourselves at.

This was the key we had. It was a serious key chain. I don't think you would forget to hand it in when you check out. It was huge.
Here is my working man. Even into the late night hours and with a stuffed up head.

We have officially started our driving part of the trip. The morning we finished up in Belgium with a whirlwind tour of a Castle and ended our day with a fantastic dinner in Warburg, Germany. When I say "fantastic dinner", I mean, it was FANTASTIC! Honestly, it was the best meal I have ever eaten in my whole entire life. If only it would have been appropriate for me to take photos of the food I got to eat, I would have. It was food that just stepped off the pages of the best food magazines or shows you have ever seen. (we were with a customer, so I had to act like a proper lady, not so much like a tourist;) This meal deserves a post all of its own. Although, now that I think about it, I'm not really sure what the food was called. I almost forgot how that all went down. HA, funny story. I was looking at the menu, that was all in German, and I couldn't read. Then when it came time to order, I ordered only an "starter" and said that was all I wanted and our hosts and the waitress all looked at me like I was crazy~so being the submissive wife that I am, I looked at Troy and said, I don't know what I should do. So I ended up just saying I would have whatever the wife of our host was having. At this point, I was really nervous, because I had no idea what was going to come out and knew I had to choke it down no matter if I liked it or not. Praise God it was delicious. Our hotel was adorable and wish we could have stayed longer.
