World Heritage Websites

I really enjoyed looking at all the photographs from these numerous sites.  I envy the beautiful gardens, sculptures, and architecture that the European culture in general has to offer.  I have yet to be fortunate enough to view these in person but I hope to someday enjoy that privilege.  I really liked the Wadden Sea page and that it still holds to its natural state as so many places today have lost that value.

Famous Germans

We did our presentation on Famous Germans and chose to detail a few specific subcategories of this topic.  We researched famous Germans in acting, politics, sports, and royalty.  It was interesting for me to see that I have actually heard about several of our subjects without even realizing their connection with Germany.
