Bonn: Easter Break



John, I took this photo especially for you while walking through Bonn. As you can see it is Beethoven's birthhouse. I hope you accept this as a proof that he was indeed born in Germany and not in the US as has been claimed.



While waiting for the Easter Bunny, our neighbors' cat came over for a visit. To distract her from sharpening her claws on the carpet I promissed her a photo shoot for the blog.



A view on the "Siebengebirge" - seven mountains - during one of our Easter walks. The mountains are slightly smaller (in fact they consist of only fourty hills) than the Appalachian Mountains but still very nice.



On one of our walks I found this old chewing gum machine. When I was growing up, this was a usual sight. Nowadays chewing gum machines seem to have died out. Does something like this still exist in Atlanta?

I think you can still find gum machines in grocery stores in Atlanta but nothing so cool as on the side of a building such as this one in Bonn.

Sharms - that photo of Beethoven's birthplace looks suspiciously like Cincinnati, Ohio...

Please - there is no house in the whole of Cincinnati with less than 10 storeys - you are obviously very wrong again!
