More Random Views of Dresden

This is the way the mail is delivered in our neighborhood.


This is the train we rode from Berlin to Dresden when we first arrived. We are just now recovered enough from that experience to share it with you.

A random building we saw in our travels.


The train station in Leipzig when we went to the Mission Conference.

The Hauptbahnhof (main train station) in Dresden. This is the train we when we aren't riding the buses or trams.

A great idea! The shopping baskets are linked together. You put a Euro in and it unlocks. When you link it up again you get your Euro back. You don't see any baskets around town and no one has gather them up.


Coming down.......


Going up.....


Inside the big cathedral that is connected to the castle..


One night we found this grand piano being played in the open areas in Dresden He was pretty good and people were actually giving him money. I think he was also selling his CDs. You see the mural of the history of the royalty of Saxony in the background. I think it begins in the 1200's.


Inside the Frauenkirche. This is the church that was completely distroyed during WWII and the restoration was completed fairly recently.


In front of the Frauenkirche.


A walk around Old Dresden in the next 3 pictures.

What a beautiful city. It always made me really sad when I thought about how much was destroyed during the war. I often wondered what it would all look like if that had never happened.
