do-do-do, lookin' out my backdoor...

my room is in the main building of the YWAM campus. And instead of having a window, we have doors that open up to a nice, big balcony that overlooks the back parking lot and the rest of the property...

yes, those are cows. we use their milk everyday and if we wind shifts, then we get to smell them...

for those of you who don't have facebook...

i posted some of these pictures on my facebook account. i realized that not everyone has an account - or is one of my facebook friends. So i decided to post them on my blog too! These are pictures from my quick trip to Germany, before i came to Switzerland. My friend, Anne, took me to Koln (pronounced like cologne) where we visited The Dome - a church building that was started in 1248 but wasn't finished until the 1800's!

The Dome...



the back of The Dome...

crazy-cool pipe organ...

one of the many beautiful stained-glass windows...

one of the beautiful cobble-stone streets in Koln...

the Rhine River...

there was just so many gorgeous buildings in Koln...


the West Gate... i think...


the Koln train station...

we then took the train to Dusseldorf...

this building had a wonderful chocolate shop on the first floor. very tasty!
