Dear Terry,
I love you so much. I can't believe... omg.

I started writing this and went to look for pictures from the wedding and found @paul #60104

I wonder if you ever can believe how many years passed.

Either way you are the best and I hope that every year is as amazing as the last.

Love,
Paul

These were literally the biggest figs I have ever seen, they were about 70 cents a fig which is so cheap when you compare the normal price of the small ones at home.

We rode our bikes down to Füssen for the day in order to see The Neuschwanstein Castle and bike see the city.

@joe ended up in the stocks.

My allergies are so insane right now. I wish I had brought the flonase but now there isn't enough time to use it before I leave Bavaria, the land of grassy mountains.

It's interesting to see just how much snot my nose can make. The right Nostril makes about twice as much. I probably used 100 Kleenex and mixed Claritan and Zyrtec with no success.

Then out if desperation I looked in the medicine cabinet at the place we are staying and see tampons. I decided to try a tampon and it worked lol. At least for a bit I can sit and watch TV without constantly dripping.

The buildings in Leipzig are really amazing.

I think I found my Halloween costume for next year.

It says on the red sign in German that it's dangerous to touch but it's right in the path.

Seems dangerous.

Here is the giant Hogweed wiki article

Finally got to Leipzig. It seems like a really cool city. The downtown is amazing. Everything is old and at the same time interspersed with very new high end malls, stores, restaurants and shops.

We saw the church where the revolution that over through the DDR went down. Apparently, the people protested there and the government sent in the police to break it up back in 1989. When the police got there, they joined in the protest which was the beginning of the end.

Sometimes It makes me sad. This side of Germany is so Americanized now.

For example, there are more McDonalds, Burger Kings, KFCs and Pizza Huts here than at home.

Now you can experience the DDR presence at the DDR store at the mall. It's such a ridiculous statement that such a store exists. It's as if even that can be capitalized and commerciazed.

I bought sunflower seed and got this.

What image are we giving when these are American style clothes.
