GERMANY PICTURES!!!!!!!!

Hey everyone!

FINALLY, here are my favorite pictures from my lovely trip to Germany!  I will give a bit of detail to each picture, so that you are not confused!  Enjoy xx

Our first view of the original shrine... very exciting!

Our USA group, walking towards the shrine

Father Kentenich's tomb.  What a powerful experience to be in the presence of the founder of the Schoenstatt movement. 

This is the arena outdoors, where all the big celebrations and presentations took place.  It held us all... about 12,000 or more pilgrims here!

Torch runners from Italy.  They brought a torch, lit by Pope Francis, all the way to Germany in 9 days.  To welcome to Blessed mother, very symbolically.  

Sideways picture XP Of the whole arena, everyone had lit candles.

This picture, I took at Midnight.  The first few moments of the next century of Schoenstatt!!

A view of the surrounding city.

The Rhine river! 

A very special shrine:)

Town square of a medieval village!

The buildings all looked like this! 

A church from the 1100's/

The altar of the church. It felt so neat to be somewhere so old.

More of the church.

Town square of Munich.  One of my favorite places for sure!

IT WAS MAGNIFICENT! 

Here it is again :)

A very decorative ceiling of a church in Munich.

The altar of that church.

My little haul ♥

Hey!

I had posted this and deleted it because my tablet was messing the pictures up... but anyways, here are some of the things I got for my trip.  I decided it would be easier just to do a post rather than a video.
First of all, one of the things I am showing I actually bought because I needed them even if I was not going on the trip but I bought it with my trip money.

First are my lovely black combat boots from Kohl's.  I was not sure how they looked on me at first but now I like them :) They were around $40 and the brand is SO.  

This is a textured black skater skirt. also from Kohl's.  I accidentally got a large, and so I just sewed the waistband to fit my size.  The brand is Lauren Conrad and it was around $20.  As a plus, it has pockets!!!!!  SO COOL!

 Here is a large purse I got to use along with my carry on.  It was around $20.  I got it at Target and the brand is Mossimo supply Co.

I also bought a tablet for about $130, and the case is still shipping from Amazon.  I got a white case for it :)
Oh, and the very first thing I bought was my carry on!  It looks like a typical black suitcase and inside it is a shade of lilac-ish purple ith light blue palm trees.  Super cute :)

Well I know that was not very interesting... sorry.  But only 8 days to go!! WOOHOO!!

One more thing:  You can follow me on Instagram and Tumblr!  My username on both is: lizziew99

Haul for my trip:-)

Hey all you people:-)
Hope you are having a nice week so far.
So,I had this idea of doing a haul for everything I have bought for my trip to Germany in 15 days! And I'm gonna do it right here on my blog. I thought about doing it on YouTube but figured this would be easier. I don't know...maybe I'll change my mind.
And I'll probably do one when I get home too so I can talk about stuff if I buy anything worth talking about there.
I thought I'd just give you a heads up so you can look out for the post within the next two weeks!
Thaaaanks!
