Fun Monday AhBayCay's

Todays lovely hostess is none other than the Swamp Queen, her royal swampiness Swampwitch.
This was the first time I signed up for a Fun Monday NOT knowing what the heck the assignment was. I threw caution to the wind and said fuckit sign me up! When I found out what her assignment was I said fuck many more times and in many different variations too!

I know she has given permission for us to break the rules, since she is the queen of that too, but I already had something in my head. Going down the ABC's it is the words that come to mind first when thinking of my main topic. That's what I got from her first set of "rules" anyway. Here goes...

What a wonderful insight into Germany and what a great job you did creating this fu$king post. (I borrowed that word from you.)
I've been to Germany only once, and loved every minute of it. Expecially Neuschwanstein Castle. I want to come back and spend more time there.
Thanks for spending so much time putting this together. It is especially powerful that you added the photos.

I loved seeing all the photos. I have never been to Germany but I think I should add it to my wish list. A friend of mine went to Berlin last year and really enjoyed her trip.
