At the very famous factory ...


for?

Yes, porcelain in Meissen, Germany.










The lady there was very nice and showed me how the drawings get done.

No matter how much I begged, she did not want to draw a plate for myself. My own little bear traveling porcelain plate to take along on my travels, the would have been grand!

But as I think about it, carrying it around in a wooden box full of straw for one plate, I guess my traveling options would be very limited then. Well, since I often have to stow away for my travels anyways, I guess it is better I keep traveling light.


After a while I got so tired, I took a little nap alongside this astonishing sculpture.

Visiting Dresden ...

and sitting posh in the "Zwinger" garden. (I am sitting below the lamp on the pillar.) Blind people, tztz.

Visiting a Wine makery ...

I am in Saxony, Germany. They make great "Sekt" (bubbly wine), yumm.

This was really scenic and romantic. It is the winehill which used to belong to the castle "Wackerbarth", which still exists and belongs to the winery.
