Dear Family and Friends,

Anna was kind enough to update you on our most recent trip. However, there are many memories in between that need to be shared. Rather than take up so much time writing all of it, I have selected some pictures I think you will enjoy from each of the places we have been.

We love you all!

Rick and Anna

This first picture is of our visit to Coach Neddo in the French Alps. It was truly one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen:

The next photo was of our trip to Nice. This beautiful picture of Anna was less strategic than it was the result of her facing the only direction her hair wouldn't blow in the incredibly strong winds (note the horizontal earrings)! The other photo is of our hotel in Nice the night we arrived.

This next photo is a fun panorama I took of a few of the boats in Monte Carlo...

We spent one night in St. Paul, just outside of Nice, at a beautiful little B&B with an incredible breakfast of eggs (from her chickens that morning), bread, cheese, coffee, etc...please note that ALL the food you see in this picture was eaten!

Thankfully all the food didn't sit in our stomachs for long. We did not consider the fact that most people need cars to reach B&B's. So, our trip to St. Paul was a combination of LOTS of walking and hitch hiking!

Our trip to Nice was followed by a looooong (26 hrs total trip) train ride up to Berlin. We only had two days to settle in before the internship started, but we did it beautifully! We were able to tour around a little bit, but it was raining that day. Most days, however, have been beautiful! Here we are at the Brandenburg Gate:

And a rather incredible picture of the storm clouds coming in:

And a fun picture of the car I 'splurged' on:

So, there is a quick overview of some of our memories. We truly have had the adverture of a lifetime. We are loving it but we miss you all deeply!

Hope you all enjoyed! We love you!
