Finally - a picto-post after all my promises ... this is of the charming little town on Monschau, its only sad-ish claim to fame being that it was one of the few areas that was almost untouched during the WWII carpet bombing of Germany ... hence it still retains a lot of that ol' country charm and quaintness. Educate yourself at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monschau

Aah. The little joys of a little town. Indescribable. And de-lish ice-cream as well.

Its a gloomy day in Aachen today, with a possibility of rain hanging over us. I guess every day cannot be perfect. Signing off ... but just for now - I feel a post coming up soon.
