Dresden!

First we went to Dresden. We arrived in time for supper and had the evening to explore the City. It is the Cultural Center of Germany. We spent a total of two nights there. The one full day we had, we first went to a famous Art Museum, Zweinger. I also toured the Armory Museum. Now that was cool! I love the knights and horses in full armor. It gave me a better perspective of how a horse's armor worked, as well as the different styles of horse armor. Here are some Pictures of Dresden, sorry we couldn't take photos in the Museum.
As we get in to more touristy cities, more and more of these places show up, 
I took this picture for Sandra =)

A statue of a horse, I can't remember who it is of though

 
The Protestant Church we attended on Sunday. the Service was VERY similar to the Catholic Service we attended in Regensburg

Some horses I found, I don't know what you would rent them to take you though, But THEY ARE horses

Another Picture of the horses

Dresden Cathedral

Dresden Landscape

Procession of Dukes
It was originally made out of plaster, but then they made it out of porcelain, from a nearby porcelain factory, because it was made out of porcelain it didn't melt or burn in the Bombing of Dresden in 1945,

It is made out of 54000 tiles

The Protestant Church that we visited on Sunday

 
This Church was rebuilt in 1993, it looks so new, and bright compared to the Catholic Cathedrals

A Mosaic Pillar in the middle of the city
