Updates of time in Germany

Miraculous image of the Christ being scourged at the pillar, in Weis Church . (Miraculous because in 1738 it began to cry real tears.) This is the reason for constructing such a magnificent Church.
This is a part of the elaborate ceiling from the Weis Church on the romantic road in Germany. Built around 1746, the church is an ideal example of the rococo period designs.

Neuschwanstein Castle in southern Germany. This castle was built by King Ludwig II, who was a great nature-lover. The setting in the Alps is like a fairy-tail...making this castle one of the most heavily visited castles in Germany. We only saw it from the road, but later regretted not making the trip out to see it up close....oh well...that's what return trips are for right?

Hey! :)

We just launched St. Charles bookoo - it's a massive online yard sale for St. Charles and surrounding areas.- Thousands of people buying and selling used stuff from each other, in a fun, family-friendly way! :)

We're getting the word out to some local bloggers, and would like to send you a free bookoo t-shirt (no strings attached!). If you would like a free t-shirt, will you send me an email at kellin@bookoo.com with your address and shirt size? I'll get it out to you right away!
