Maureen from Eclectic Revisited Blog paid me a very nice compliment yesterday - she awarded me the Stylish Blogger Award! I am so excited and honored! Please check out her blog right away if you haven't already. She has been sooo helpful in supporting my blogging pursuits, in addition to writing a fantastic blog.
Maureen, thank you so much!
To accept the award, I am supposed to reveal seven things about myself, so here goes...
1. I have been living in Munich, Germany for the last four years. On a clear day in Munich (which is often) we can see the Alps sweeping all the way across the southern horizon. It still takes my breath away!
 |
| The Munich Skyline, showing a few of its most famous churches. |
 |
| Baco di Romeo - the chocolate (Romeo) version of my faves |
 |
| A variety of Portuguese Pastries |
3. I also have a weakness for Dr. Pepper, so don't think I am a complete food snob. :)

4. I dropped out of college to work on Ski Patrol in Sun Valley, Idaho for a winter (it was actually my Dad's idea if you can believe it. He thought it would be fun, and he was right!) In case you're wondering...yes, I went back to school. :) I finished with a degree in IT and International Management.
 |
| This was my view every morning when I showed up for "work". Now that I look back on this, it's kind of amazing I went back to college! |
5. I am very proud to be an Oregonian, and now, a little bit Bavarian too.
 |
| Oregon's Willamette Valley where I grew up - the "New Napa". |
 |
| The Bavaria Statue, which overlooks the Oktoberfest grounds. |
 |
| Angkor Wat near Siem Reap |

ReplyDeleteBarbara..you really deserve this reward. Love this becuase it allows us to learn a little something about the bloggers we so enjoy following. You really got around....40 countries, I have finally met someone whose been to way more countries than I have, I think I have been to 20..I am impressed. Your love of pastries and Dr. Pepper, major obsession/addiction that we have in common! Germany is gorgeous..must be so interesting to live there. Ski patrol huh?
