Europe 2012: Food
We had some great food on the last European romp. And I've been meaning to post a few pictures of the highlights. Jenny's Irish stew (you can't find it this good on any restaurant menu):
Buckwheat crepe in Paris:
Traditional French breakfast. Yes, I loved this but after a while, dang man, ease up on the carbs!
Just a little pate with all the fixins' in Colmar, Alsace:
Macaroon heaven:
The full Swiss breakfast spread - man, oh, man, I could've eaten here all day:
Some kind of pork-tastic dish in Munich, of course:

Fritz Lang
One of the few names I recognize in German cinema is Fritz Lang. While I've never seen any of his films, the cool-factor of his movies like "Metropolis" is evident.
Josephine Baker und Marlene Dietrich
Over in Potsdamer Platz in Berlin is the super-cool Deutsche Kinemathek Film and TV Museum. Since my knowledge about German cinema is woefully lacking, I was enraptured with all they had on display.
Checkpoint Charlie
Back in 2008, we visited Berlin, Germany and took the tour of the Checkpoint Charlie museum. Really fascinating stuff and deeply emotional.
I recently discovered in one of my infamous unmarked storage bags, that I bought some nifty postcards from the museum. I'm posting them here.
This was the sector sign at Checkpoint Charlie.
