Quick Recap of 2011 X-mas

Hello Everybody,

Well…we’re into the New Year about a month now and I haven’t had much time to filter all our holiday pictures – there was a combined total of 1052 pictures we took over the break.

As some of you may know ‘T’ was here for xmas and new years and of course we did some sightseeing.  This year we focused more on German Christmas Markets – we visited : Erlangen, Nuremberg, Bamberg, Rothenburg, Wurzburg, Munich, Berlin and Dresden. 

So I’m sharing a bit of each visit - enjoy the pictures. By the way, I really like T’s camera.

I think I forgot to take pictures and this is the only one I found in T’s pictures
