Ich Liebe Dich

I Love You. Among hopeless romantics, Cologne is famous for only one thing: the Love Lock Bridge. People travel from all over the world to come to this bridge and declare their undying love for that special person in their life. Tradition states that when you love someone, you should buy a lock with a key, fasten it to the bridge and toss the key over into the Rhein River. Though I love all my friends and family and wish I could buy a lock for each of them, during my time in Europe I have really been missing my boyfriend and best friend: Scott Evan Fundling and so this post and of course my lock (and heart) is dedicated to him. MUAHHH

Would you like fries with that?

On our way to Hamburg we stopped in Volksberg, a city actually created by Hitler to be the headquarters for the VW cars. VW was started by the Nazi party as a luxury car that was meant specifically for the upper middle class. In Volksberg we visited a Zaha Hadid Museum for Science, the building was really great and the museum was sooooo much fun, it felt like I was in a playground for older kids. When we finally got into Hamburg I was pleasantly surprised by how trendy and chic it was. The Harbor City felt like the city planners just took a design studio, gave each student a building and plopped them all down within a two to three block radius from each other. It was such a fun city and next time I hope to spend longer than two days there.
