Erfurt, a bit of architecture

Oh my. Time flies and a did not take care of this blog for quite a while now. Work, family and personal life made me kind of forget to write here! But here am I.

He describes the south coast of my beloved region very well. So if you are able to read german and are curious about Brittany, those thrillers are made for you!
