Carmen Nebel Summer Special With André Rieu

We got this awhile back, but with all the Maastricht news have waited to put it on. The ZDF broadcast is on Saturday August 15th, called: "Carmen Nebel Welcomes You". Carmen Nebel broadcasts a "Summer Special" every year. The link below is a slide show of pictures taken from the upcoming show. Ineke has translated the captions that are under each picture for us. You will kind of have to go back to see the list as you look at the pictures, but you will at least know what they are saying each one is about. I just read the picture descriptions and then looked at the slide show so I knew what they were about. There's some really FUN pictures here that we thought you would all enjoy seeing ... :)
