The time for our journey together has sadly come to a close. Relive some fond moments with me, as I think over the lessons from this time abroad and share some hopes for the future with you all.

As Spring surfaces in Germany, so does the wild and crazy joy of Karneval, or Fasching. See the colorful floats and learn about the history that makes these traditions so unique.

Spring marks the beginning to the longest season in the Pfalz: Weinfeste (wine festival) season! Enjoy this album, as it catalogs the nature, music and festivities that Southern Germany has to offer.
