Feeling the pain of pronunciation
Have you ever been to a foreign country, wondering how to pronounce certain cities? We bet you have!
McKenna and Nora present some hard-to-pronounce cities to each other and teach us some very interesting information.
Beautiful places around Mönchengladbach & Berrien County
Welcome to Grand Mere State Park in Berrien County, Michigan.
The mural of the squirrel is in downtown Saint Joseph on the bluff. The lighthouse is on the pier near Tiscornia Beach in Saint Joseph, Michigan. It was fairly cold and cloudy that day as well. The next picture is of downtown Stevensville, Michigan. It was cold and dark that day.
One picture shows winter decorations on the bluff in Saint Joseph, Michigan. The next picture is in downtown Saint Joseph, Michigan by the shops, it snowed that day. Next is at Silver Beach state park in Saint Joseph, Michigan during another snow storm. It was very cold and windy.

I took my first few pictures at “Schloss Rheydt“

It was a cloudy day but I really enjoyed to spend my afternoon there. I could also see some cute animals. To continue with the animals, I was in “Fischeln“ to visit my friends, the alpacas called “Ernie and Bert“. Aren`t they cute?
A few days later it started snowing. So I went for a walk to our “Naturschutzsee“ in Hardt. Because of the very cold weather the lake was frozen and I saw the sunset. My last stop was in “Brüggen“. It was a very funny and good day. There were large trees which reminded me of the “Sequoia Park“ in California and I saw the sunset once again.
I really enjoyed taking these photos.
