You all look like you had a wonderful time.  Thank you for sharing a pic - like everyone else says "now we can put a face with a name".  I don't know how you pronounce the name of the desert but it looks absolutely delicious.  Wish I could get some of that here in the States!

A pic of my flowers and our "mascot",  Katja's beautiful teddybear, Philly or Filly. Just look at his pretty face.

When I met Flo and Annie they gave me this lovely flowers. I was supposed to be the flower girl at their wedding, but they got married slightly too far for me to attend. Smiling

You could almost say the Stephans Cathedral was around the corner for us, so we visited it also first of all.

I'm fascinated by gargoyles, but forgot to take pics of all of them and only took this one who is smiling.

Then we went up the bell tower to look out over the city.

It's high up there

If you ever wondered what a gargoyle looks like from above.

They had to cage these two and hang them on the bell tower.

It's just a joke! It's a great pic.

This is Katja thinking : "Hmmmmm....this is good stuff...I will have another of these..."

She was having what we call "Sturm"....its grapejuice having started to ferment and on its way very soon to be a good white wine...already a bit alcohol in it...WinkLaughing

She didn't stop drinking it, it was her drink for the rest of the weekend, but it is a very nice drink. Almost like some kind of a lemonade.
