Hi friends, how was your weekend? I already feel so out of touch with blogging since I’ve been here in my hometown. I barely get a second to myself and don’t have much time to write anything.
But I do have lots of time to take photos and as I was walking down main street, I thought about taking some snippets of my favorite windows and signs.
For me the phrase “distance makes the heart grow fonder” has a special meaning when it comes to my home town. I can only appreciate it now that I live so far away. Growing up, all I wanted to do is get away…not as far as I did but definitely to a bigger city. It’s a small town Lohr am Main (or click HERE) which is also a great place to raise children, but I still couldn’t imagine myself moving back. It would be a huge adjustment.
So I hope you enjoy seeing some of my photos:
Lohr am Main Germany
St. Michael church in the background where we got married. And our church anniversary is coming up. Might have to share some photos with you!
Lohr am Main Germany
small cute medieval Bavarian town
Lohr am Main Germany
bavarian half-timbered house
colorful bavarian half-timbered house
bavarian madonna on half-timbered house
bavarian bakery half-timbered house
My dog sister, also known as my parents elderly rescue dog. She was rescued from the streets of Portugal and is one of the best doggies ever. I hate seeing her get old!
Hotel Krone Lohr am Main
Hotel Krone, the place we had our wedding reception. We danced in the street with a band playing right there on the right side of the photo.
historical city hall in Lohr am Main
town hall
Gasthaus Schönbrunnen
bavarian half-timbered house from 1583Old door jamb from 1583

So that’s a little glimpse into my hometown. I think you should follow me on Instagram if you want to see other photos (click HERE). I was also thinking about taking some more photos of my parent’s home and my brother and sister-in-law’s home. Let’s see! But who knows if y’all are even interested, but no projects on the horizon for me.

I hope you all have a great start to your week.

Talk to you hopefully on Wednesday.

    YES!! More photos please. That is the Germany I remember and love. Seriously, not to be rude but WHY would anyone who could live there, not choose to live there? If I could, I would move in a heartbeat! What our visits there showed me is that here in the US, in the name of progress, we have actually gone backwards. I am looking forward to seeing more of your hometown. You lucky girl. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Oh yes more pictures please! I miss Germany so much. If I could afford it I’d move back in a heartbeat. Funny how most Germans want to get away & Americans want to stay lol.

    Your hometown looks so amazing! Thanks for the little tour. If I were ever there you’d probably never see me as I’d be behind my camera the whole time!

      I’m sure your photos would be much better than mine! Love how you take photos.

      I wish that we would have digital photos of our wedding and it makes me feel really old to say that it was pre-digital times LOL

    LOL, they sometimes do after they had some beers at the local beer fest which is going on right now, haha!

    Such a beautiful place to call home. I appreciate your photos so much. I hope to one day visit the place I was born and spend the first couple years of my life.

    • Julia Konya says

      July 29, 2013 at 7:59 pm

      I wish you can visit one day too with your family. It’s so worth it!

    Thanks for the photos! It looks like a beautiful little town. I was just reflecting on our summer thus far and am hoping my kids get to spend a few summers in Germany the way I did growing up (my mom is from Wurzburg). I could go for a couple scoops of eis right now!

    • Julia Konya says

      July 29, 2013 at 7:59 pm

      No freakin way! Würzburg is my favorite everrrr!

    Your hometown looks straight out of a fairy tale! My kids were looking at some of the pictures and Henry said “hey that’s where Beauty & the Beast live!” lol! I hope you are having the best time!!! ๐Ÿ˜‰

    • Julia Konya says

      July 29, 2013 at 7:56 pm

      Aww that’s so cute but I swear that’s what my daughter feels like at all times when she is here. She wants to wear long dresses and go to castles and it warms my heart to see her (and my son) appreciate it way more than I ever did!

    All of the intricate details in these buildings are just amazing! What a beautiful place. Thanks for sharing with us!

    it’s beautiful there and so pretty where you got married, it looks like a movie set ๐Ÿ™‚
    your second picture reminds me a little of the old Montreal over here (old Port), many of the streets have remained like this ๐Ÿ™‚
    wish you a great week too Julia!

    • Julia Konya says

      July 29, 2013 at 7:58 pm

      Montreal is on our list of places to visit!

    Just gorgeous!! Are you from northern or southern Germany? Either way, it’s just stunning. My husband is a legal alien (like yourself) from northern (he claims the large city of Muenster as his own, but is from a small village close by). The architecture is just mesmerizing and after looking at these photos I am craving the following: beer, chocolate, beer, chocolate, beer…Have a wonderful time sharing this special place mit deine kinder. I’m sure I butchered the German. ๐Ÿ™‚

    I love European architecture! So much more history than the stuff we have over here. Have a great time over there!

    Thanks for sharing your beautiful photos Julia! Seeing them brings back such amazing memories of our trip to Germany last August. I absolutely love it there and miss it so much. My husband’s head office is there so the potential for return visits is very promising.

    I love the photos and don’t worry so much about blogging while you are with your family for this short time. You can post them later, just enjoy the time you have there.

    Such a beautiful place, Julia! (Love all the photos!) What a wonderful opportunity for your children to visit and create some memories for themselves in your hometown.
