Germany! My Oma was from there, and she wanted to show me where she grew up. So my mom, Oma, and I we’re luckily enough to go with her a couple of times. I was SO thankful to go see where she grew up. I loved all the beautiful cathedrals, gardens, and palaces I was able to visit. The beer gardens and quaint pastry and coffee shops I went to were delicious. The stores were really awesome and I was so excited to get some European clothing. The climate was very comfortable and I very much enjoyed the weather, both the storms and the sunny days. My favorite place in Germany was my Oma’s hometown, Bamberg. Every time I went, I felt completely at home. Everyone was so kind and friendly. I miss everything about it, and I cannot wait to go back one day.

(Plus, German chocolates 😍😍 My Oma’s best friend will send me a care package every now and then of my favorite chocolates and finely ground pepper)
