Made another friend.
Was taking photos on the streets near the Christmas Markets when I was approached by another photographer, asking me whether I am using the X-E1.

They had married when she was 18. Sadly, she died during childbirth, ...
Gymnastics in the Wiesbaden Forest
On Saturday morning Andrew and I walked down to the town square to look at the markets. There was lots of fresh fruit, meat and vegetables, and I took the opportunity to buy some sweets (Aunty Erika later packed our bags with chocolate blocks and bags of lollies for the journey ahead).
Katherina and Pascal picked us up after lunch. They showed us the Theatre where Katherina's dad works, the Festival Centre and the Castle where they got married. We later had ice-creams at the ...
