Ein glückliches Neues Jahr!

This was taken outside the old city walls of Rothenburg, which we visited earlier this month. If there was one village that embodied traditional German architecture, it would be this. It's a tourist town, of course, with a store selling Christmas ornaments year-round that one of our friends likes to call a "chamber of horrors"! To each their own. :-)

Tonight we'll be with family around the fondue pot, then we'll take in a performance of the orchestra at one of the cathedrals. We'll be ushering in the New Year at the Nuremberg castle with sparklers and champagne, six to nine hours ahead of most of you in the U.S.

Happy New Year!

Blog blogworthy: I fixed the comments bug! Or more accurately, someone pointed me to the link regarding the bug in Movable Type's Knowledge Base. IF. You ever decide to upgrade to version 4, make sure your archives are set for Individual/Entry, otherwise you won't have them. Or, add some additional code to the permalink. Unfortunately the Comments form isn't working because my templates are all custom-coded, and not in sync with MT 4.x. (Nightmare. I'm so working on a redesign!)
