We took an obscene amount of pictures in Leipzig. And Dresden. And Potsdam. Let's just say that I am embarassed to post the number of photos from just one weekend. I've weeded through them this evening, deleting literally hundreds.
Really, though, we had a great time together! Anaïs is such a great girl and I feel really lucky to know her. On top of it all, she has helped me out so much with my German. I know for certain that she is going to be a great language teacher someday.
Leipzig was lovely. It is a trade fair city in Saxony, formerly part of the GDR.
Our tour began in the Nikolaikirche, which I really enjoyed. The pale colors and classical style are really appealing.
Anaïs and Goethe.
We had coffee and a Leipziger Lerche (a little almond pastry) in the Riquethaus, a former commercial building. 
Not gonna lie, we did a lot of shopping in between. It is, afterall, it is a commercial city, right?
There are a ton of these passages through the larger shopping buildings on their ground floor. These semi-open malls reminded me of the Galleria in Milan.
The former Reichsgericht, a gigantic court house.
To end our tour of the city, we went up for a panoramic view atop the Mendelbrunnen high rise.
