My trip to Dresden, Germany. From February 1, 2016 to February 6, 2016. 

Enjoy winter without being in the snow! Located outside the city of Nagoya in Mie Prefecture, Nabana no Sato is a botanical garden that has been transformed from flowers to thousands of LED lights to create a winter wonderland. The beautiful landscapes the lights and flowers create make it great for couples and families to visit.

Today, February 2, is Groundhog Day. A custom and national holiday that’s been adopted in 1887. The largest Groundhog Day is celebrated in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. It is said that if the groundhog does not see his shadow on this day, then spring will come early. If the groundhog does see his shadow, however, then there will be six more weeks of winter.

This year Punxsutawney Phil, the famous groundhog from Punxsutawney, did not see his shadow this year. Which means spring will come early this year!
