Dresden


The Elbe

Dresden survived one of the worst bombing attacks and fires of WWII. The city then spent 40 years under Soviet domination. We were thrilled to see what a beautiful city now exists. We had a great tour of the city and the surrounding Elbe valley, A visit to the Museum of the Old Masters, ate terrific food, and attended perhaps the best of the Glee Club concerts there.

Here are some highlights:

A Palace? No. A cigarette factory.
