Where are all the Oompah Loompahs?

Hi cyber friends! I am feeling rather tired and cranky today so my blog post is going to be sort of half-assed. Oh well, ain't nothing you can do about it.

Anywho, Max and I had an awesome weekend in Cologne and Dusseldorf. We went to go see Beach House and also did some sight seeing and visiting with Max's family. Rather than my usual full disclosure travel details I am just going to post a few picas and share some new insights.

Things I learned this weekend:

1. If lamb is cooked well, the delicious taste will drown out the little 'bah baaaaah' sound you hear in your head.

2. The pros of wearing 4 inch heels to a concert: extra height and therefore a better view, definitely outweigh the cons: extremely sore feet for two days after.

3.  Wearing all black is always a good idea.

4. If you ever visit a real chocolate factory, you should not expect a fat kid to fall in a chocolate river or a girl to turn into a blueberry. There probably won't even be a chocolate river.

5. Not only does Beach House put on a great show, but Victoria Legrand will also remind you how important it is you start growing your hair out immediately.

Keep an eye out for my next post later this week. It will probably be a review of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows as I am going to see it tomorrow! In English! In the mean time, have a gander at a few photos from this weekend. Tschus!

My aformentioned all black ensemble and towering heels.

 Beach House, check out those luscious locks!
