Bye, Bye Alli and Melissa

Well, my girls have come and gone. Melissa over Xmas, and Alli for Xmas and New Year's.

I had such a great time visiting with them both. But I'm very sorry to see them have to leave. :-(

Oh well, I'll just have to keep posting incredibly cute pictures of moi so they don't miss me too much.

Hasta la vista, Melissa (she's going back to Spain). And Aloha, Alli (36 hours travel back to Hawaii -- all in one day! ;-)

End of Xmas Markets

OK, here's our last look at the German Christmas markets. At least that's one way to get the local s to come out and walk around in the cold weather. Fortunately, I have Mom and Alli to keep me warm!


Here we are at the Stuttgart Xmas Market. It was huge! And you can see that some people will do anything for a Euro!


Sun appears to be setting on Esslingen, and our Xmas markets. They were a lot of fun!

The walled city of Rothenburg o.d.T

Oh look, it's the Three Graces again, this time at Rothenburg ob der Tauber. This is a really cool and well-preserved medieval city.


Yep, this would be around the time of the knights. At least, I think so. Hey, I'm only a dog, remember.


Here we are settin' a spell outside the walled city. Some nice old trees for me to visit (hee, hee).


And the walls themselves are covered, and you can walk along them.


Yes, and I'm very brave for doing so, since I don't really care for heights ;-)

Atop the Burg

Here we are up on top of Burg Hohenzollern. It's a castle up on a small mountain, with awesome views of the fields and villages below.


We walked around the castle walls and checked out all the nooks and crannies. I can't remember if this was a nook or a cranny ;-)

Visiting Bebenhausen

Hey, check it out -- it's me and the girls. It's like I have my own "Three Graces" statue.


Yep, these are my gal pals. Aren't they pretty?

OK people, it's playtime

We just walked all around Esslingen, and back up the long hill. So, if you ask me ... I think it should be playtime now!


Oh boy, this should make the girls dizzy! Glad I'm not on that at the same time (no thanks to Alpha ;-)


Woah now -- getting dizzier!


So, does anyone have any Dramamine?


Looks like the girls are just two big kids -- just like moi!

Look who visited

So look who just visited Germany (from Spain). That's Melissa who spent Christmas with Alli (and moi)


See, Alli and Melissa go way back. BF ... Before Frito even (or roughly starting the same time).


This just that they are "close buddies". Playing on the spielplatz (playground).


Hey, I wanna play too -- these cool tunnels are all connected.
