How much is that sheepy in the window?

Location: Bremen, Germany. Sweet little Nativity sheep in the Schnoor. I believe next door to the place I found the hat from my last post. Bremen is special to us, not just for the location, but for the family we have become close to as the result of the German exchange program in which our daughters were involved 13 years ago.

Location: Willersdorf, Germany. Pottery sheep in the Offnungszeiten Restaurant at the Hotel Rittmayer, that's been run by the same family since the 1700's. Besides their brewery, their pond full of carp is their dining room specialty, strange as it sounds it was the best meal of our trip.

Location: Rome, Italy. We probably walked ten miles that day determined to show Chuck what he missed when his detached retina kept him from accompanying us in 2008. These were located between the Vatican and the Piazza Navona. Following this picture we hit the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Roman Forum, Colosseum, and the Circus Maximus. Thank goodness for gel insoled shoes.

Location: Monterosse, Cinque Terre, Italy, the day before the floods. It started raining while we were there.

Location: Barcelona, Spain in the window of an optical store. Must have been a knitter involved.

Once, after a trip to Connecticut, I regretted not buying some particularly sweet sheep. This time I bought a pair to remember our trip.  What did I buy?

Location: Murano, Italy. Sweet tiny blown glass sheep.

I love all things sheep and these are really adorable. I do try to restraint myself however. If your family knows you like sheep, next thing you know that's all you'll get for gifts!

I can see how a knitter could really get carried away collecting sheep.
