May 1st is Labor Day here in Germany, and we were graced with sunny and warm weather on our day off from work. We took full advantage of it down by the Elbe on the beach, with strawberries to snack on and a beer and lunch from a nearby restaurant. Life is good.
Here’s what our day looked like:
Now we’re back home, things have been tidied up just a bit around the apartment, and for dinner, the asparagus quiche cooking up in the oven right now.
Happy May!
It’s time for our 3rd annual Easter road trip! Tobi and I are headed out to pick up our rental car at the airport and then we’re off — heading somewhere in the direction of north/northwest. Or northeast. Or anywhere that looks interesting. We’re planning on camping, so I’m hoping that the forecast for rain isn’t really true…!
(This picture was taken today on board a ship at the Elbe.)
We’ll be back Monday, so I wish you all a happy Easter!
This is a vintage postcard Tobias picked up in Paris at one point. It’s actually in a sepia tone, but someone colored it in a strange way and it looks a little…um…special. Black and suits the photo much better, I think!
This Valentine’s Day is special because it’s our first as an engaged couple, and our next one will be as a married couple!
I was banned from the kitchen for several hours while Tobias made these beautiful and delicious chocolates for me.
Thanks, Tobi! What a lucky girl I am to have you!
And dark chocolate – 85% – is THE BEST. With three different types of fillings – regular chocolate, fig, and spicy chocolate and fig together. YUM.
