I visited Dresden last summer! It's beautiful!
Dresden is a wonderful place to live! Have fun and enjoy your new hometown!
oh wow, that's exiting! I always wanted to go, but I've never been. Isn't it funny, that you tend to see more from other countries, than from your own?!
@FeeMail,
Absolutely. I've been to way more European countries than U.S. states. It feels very strange, especially when my students ask me about various American cities and I say, "Uhh....never been to any of those".
beautiful! why'd you move?
Cool!! Why did you move there?
WHOA exciting! Explain, explain!
explanation!!?
xoxo jen
I've heard amazing things about Dresden!
Ooh I love it!! It's gorgeous! :)
oh, here's an explanation:
i was offered a grant extension and requested a new city (either berlin or dresden) and was placed in dresden. i'm very happy about it!
I've been following your blog for awhile now and love it! I was also a Fulbright teaching assistant, in 2007-08. I taught in a tiny town in Sachsen (Loebau) and lived in Goerlitz. If you haven't been to Goerlitz, you NEED to go, it's beautiful and you can walk across a bridge to Poland! So excited to see that you're living in Dresden, definitely one of my favorite German cities. Can't wait to hear about your new adventures this year!
I totally agree, it's adorable!
GIVE ME YOUR LIFE.
don't make me beg.
its unbecoming
how gorgeous! your blog is going to make me want to visit germany on my girl's trip coming up... instead of canada
@mir,
that is so cool that you did fulbright, too. i've heard of loebau and i've passed through goerlitz a ton. i definitely plan on visiting goerlitz at some point in the next 9 months!
Um, ya it's pretty! Wow. I seriously need to visit Germany!
It's beautiful. I wish we could come visit you before you leave.
Yayyyyy! Dresden does look beautiful! Steven and I were talking about taking a weekend trip there sometime soon. So many places to visit in this beautiful country!

So happy that you got a grant extension!!! Can't wait for more Germany posts :)
I am glad you love Dresden. Never been there but definitely planning to visit sooner or later.
Guess it is the same with me like with everyone - I have definitely been to more US cities while I lived there for a little over a year, than to German cities while I lived here (almost) my entire life.
I didn't see that one coming.
I've been wanting to visit Dresden for many years, but never actually made it there. Hope to see more pictures like these, I'm sure they'll give me the push I need :)
I totally love Dresden.
My grand parents live near Dresden and Ivisited this city every year when I visit them for summer vacations.
The city changed a lot in the past years because the restored so many of the old pretty buildings.
Have you been to the international church day in summer ?
Ohh...if you are looking for some lovely towns in places and Sachsen you can always ask me.
I totally love Bautzen http://www.flickr.com/photos/86708643@N00/4895306326/in/photostream/.
It's an amazing city with a lovely historic center. You should try "Bautzner Senf" ;)
If you like german gingerbread you should visit Pulsnitz. Pulsnitz is a little gingerbread city. You can find many little gingerbread bakeries.
My fave is groschky http://www.groschky.de/. I always buy tons of gingerbread while I'm there. These are my fave http://www.groschky.de/Pfefferkuchen/Gefuellte-Spitzen-mit-Kakao-500g::1.html.
They have a little gingerbread museum too http://www.flickr.com/photos/86708643@N00/283361266/.
Sorry for the all the information. I'm always getting excited when I write about saxony (Sachsen).
@Isabelle,
Thank you so much for the info on Sachsen. I really don't know much about it at all, so that is very helpful.
If you are looking for some more lovely places feel free to ask me. My dad grow up near Dresden and he knows even more lovely places.
Did you even went to Thüringen ? It's a very lovely part in the east of germany.
Erfurt and Weimar are my fave cities. Try the christmas market in Erfurt if you have time or just visit Erfurt for some sight seeing.I'm sure you will love it !
It looks amazing!! This is making me miss Europe even more! Not cool. haha. Hope you have lot of fun in your new city! :)
@Isabelle,
I've really never been anywhere but Bayern, Berlin, the Schwarzwald and Stuttgart. I am enrolling at the Uni. though, which means I'll get a free pass for all Nahverkehr in Sachsen and I plan to make use of that almost every weekend. I will definitely contact you!
it looks like a dream! you always go on the most exciting international adventures. we moved two years ago. about five minutes down the road haha:) this is so exciting!
Oh my gosh! Dont ever move this place looks perfect! My goodness...
I love the hot air balloon geez picture perfect
Looks pretty fabulous!
Hooray for more Jenni-Austria-GERMANY!! Looking forward to hearing about your new adventures. I've never been to Dresden, but yes, it looks like a very pretty city.
beautiful!
Oh wow how exciting!! I can't wait to hear all about it - it looks beautiful!!
So much charm! I love these old European towns. i'm going back home to Finland for few weeks on Thursday and this is the vacation I've been waiting forever.
Hooray!
I just moved to nearby Dessau and want to visit Dresden as soon as my next school break allows.. maybe in a couple weekends? Keep us all updated on the best stuff to do.
Best of luck on your move!
Kate
How fun! It's a lovely place or so it looks. Can't wait to hear more about this journey in your life.
Ha! So the second picture (my jaw dropped when I saw it) - the building to the left of the church, my uncle lives there. Yay for Dresden!
knew you would love it. I LOVED it there when i visited. christmas time is absolutely spectacular.
I LOVE Dresden!!! It was one of my favorite towns when I studied abroad in Germany! My blog button picture is actually a picture of me on top of the Frauenkirche! New follower here :) diesunddas33.blogspot.com
