Mainz, while it was still warm

I still haven't really figured out what this building is. But it's cool.

Chagall window - St. Stephan Kirche

Roman ruins: spotted!

I don't even know, but it was a cool view

Some grapes hanging out that managed to escape harvest season

Bridge from Mainz across the Rhein River into Hessen

"Baaarges, I would like to go with you, I would like to sail the... Rhein River blue?"

More Roman ruins! And a train station! And modern buildings! This place has it all.

aaaand now it's rainy and cold. I'm told it will be like this here for the next... well, forever, it sounds like. But you know, that means that Christmas markets are right around the corner (kind of), so I'm just going to stay really excited about that. Also, I'm really reeeeaaalllyyyy wishing I'd packed any of my fantastic boots that I normally wear in Fall and Winter. What exactly made me think packing high heels was a great idea and leaving the boots was genius?

Oh yeah, good news. Well, good news for me personally. More specifically good news for my hair. I bought a hair dryer. It only took me forever to do that. Maybe I'll start looking normal and put-together-ish now. But probably not. In other news, real quick, Starbucks here doesn't do the Pumpkin Spice latte, so for all of my people in the US of A, please drink one for me and love every Autumn-y sip of it. Dankeschön.

Schönes Wochenende!
