To Dresden for Visas

In order to get work visas in the Czech Republic, you have to apply for them out of the country. So, our school took us to Dresden, Germany (a 3 hour drive away) to go sign some paperwork. We also got to enjoy a short time looking around the city. Here are some pics from that day.

This church was beautiful. Much of it's structure was bombed in WWII, but it has been repaired. I love the statues of saints all around it. There are views from both sides in the pics below.

We made our way through the streets and came upon another church that just reopened in the spring after being closed (from damage) since WWII. Dresden was one of the German cities hit the hardest toward the end of the war. In fact, it was hit after the war was technically over, but the English general who ordered the attack wanted a bit of retribution.Inside the church was very ornate...with LOTS of gold.

Finally we hit the old palace grounds. This place was incredible! The architecture was beautiful and the grounds were covered with sculpted gardens & fountains.

I got to be queen for the day when we stood outside the palace grounds & Cisco caught a photo of me "wearing" the royal crown. :)
