Last week I was in Esslingen, Germany with Didier - business trip for him, tourism for me. Esslingen was largely untouched by either of the world wars, so there are a lot of buildings intact from as far back as the 13th century.

| Church of St. Dionysius |
 |
 |
| Inside the church |
 |
| The magnificent organ |
 |
| The front of the sanctuary... I wish my camera could have captured the beauty of the stained glass windows, which were gorgeous. |
 |
 |
| The church towers as seen from a bridge on the river Neckar. |
 |
| St. Paul's church... there were a couple people praying in this one so I didn't take many pictures. This church was completed in 1268 and is the oldest monastic church in Germany. |
 |
 |
| Walking past the vineyards on the edge of town. |
 |
| Inside Frauenkirche, or Church of Our Lady. |
 |
| Now that is a pulpit. |
 |
 |
| The back of the old town hall. The front has a newer facade that just isn't quite as cool. |
 | |||||
| Doors. One day I will do a post solely of door pictures. |
That brings this post to a close... I shall leave you with the announcement that I am pregnant, and due in January!
Now it all makes sense... we can blame the pregnancy for the fact that this is my first blog post in four months. (Seriously - "morning sickness" is a misnomer.)
