All your photos are stunning, Anne, but, as always, the ones of your fairy-tale village are my favorites.

I recently took a 5-hour road trip with my friend Gina. In the car, we discussed where we would like to live if we could live anywhere in the world. My first thought was Italy, a country that has always appealed to me, except for their politics and anti-LGBTQ leanings. To visit, yes. To live, maybe not. Gina immediately said Germany, which surprised me since she hates cold weather as much as I do! But, after a discussion, we both settled on Germany. I told her about your village and all the lovely photos you post. It was a fun and imaginative conversation that helped pass the time on the road.
