Celebrating Life: Greetings From Germany

Greetings from Munich and Rothenburg ob der Tauber,  in Germany.

Actually, I am now back in the states, having returned from a fantastic European trip with Liz, on a delayed honeymoon following our June wedding.

Rothenburg ob der Tauber is rated as the best preserved medieval town in Germany.
