...and Cologne and Oberhausen, Luxembourg City, and Amsterdam.

Here's a collection of our photos... seems I'm taking more and more these days (sorry). At least they are organized by city so you can check out what interests you the most.

Highlights of the trip:

Reconnecting with old friends where they live now

Romping through the chilly woods with kindergarteners carrying homemade lanterns behind a little brass band playing St. Martin's Day songs

Getting caught in the middle of the first day of Karnival at the Cologne train station, where people from all over northern Europe come to celebrate with costumes and heavy drinking

Wandering around Luxembourg City in the freezing wind

Zoning out on the train to Dead Texan with Ed

Having a schnapps at the top of the Berliner Fernsehturm

Dancing to vintage 60s pop with Christian and Kim

Drawing and folding paper with my goddaughter

Having dinner from 6:30pm to 3:30am while talking about quantum physics

Hearing a composition by Astor Piazolla live on the bandoneon at the Berlin Philharmonic with constant goosebumps
