    I love that every German city / town has its own castle on a hill. I also love visiting these castles. This is the “Old Castle” in Baden-Baden Germany…a really rich small town famous for its thermal baths. OooOoo. We went on a hike up the hill to this castle, & after looking around a bit, we went on past it & had a pic-nic under a little pavilion/gazebo where it proceeded to thunderstorm & make us miserable. Luckily for US, we had a very talented boy with us who started a fire, lickity-split, & got us warmed up all toasty-like. It may sound miserable, but it was actually a lot of fun. Thank God for knowing interesting/nice/cool people. &love, O

    The bartender’s dog (@ Happy Days Pub) that either sleeps on the welcome mat or sniffs everybodys butts. Super soft & so obedient. Nobody keeps their dogs on leashes around here & they always walk right by the person’s side. It’s amazing. I want every dog I see. &love, O
