Dreaming of Germany
Once it is safe again to go out and enough money has been saved up, I want to plan a trip to the beautiful alps of Germany and also explore the wondrous cities. I also want to go to all the cafes, restaurants, ice cream parlors, and museums there, as well as travel to the parks and gardens there. I want to travel abroad and visit what was formerly known as East and West Germany, walk along the cobblestone streets, and look at all the lovely buildings.
