Tower of Macaroons

This is the tower of macaroons that CHANGED MY LIFE. Not really. I feel more that they represent a joyful tower of awesomeness, inspired by the presence of macaroons in my life. Basically I love macaroons. Such a silly word, macaroon.

Mini Pumpkins

Everything worth having comes in miniature. That is my wisdom for today. Not very wise, but there you have it.

Berlin Wall

The Berlin Wall has some really fantastic graffiti. But I didn't take these pictures in Berlin. These sections of the Wall were transported to Washington D.C. as part of an exhibit about democracy's triumph over communism in Europe.

There was even a toppled statue of Lenin.

I had to visit during orientation before heading off to Germany as an exchange student. Orientation was held in Washington D.C. with the idea that maybe American exchange students should learn a little more about their own country before they go represent it abroad. Go figure.

Fountain

The fountain in the courtyard of the Victoria & Albert Museum.

Happy December

Here's hoping that we finally get some snow. If I'm going to freeze my butt off, it should at least look like a Christmas card outside.
