Last Weekend...

What an excellent way to spend our last weekend in Germany! We went for a bike ride to Lake Constance with our friends Zoran and Beba. Today the weather was gorgeous... warm, sunny! We met up around noon and biked for almost 4 hours. There was a wind out of the south so we could see the Alps very clearly. Incredible!!

My body is aching since this is the first time we have been on the bikes this year, but it was well worth it.

We are truly going to miss living in Germany. The experience has been wonderful and we are so grateful to have had this opportunity. Thank you to all of the friends that we have met here. We love you and will miss you very much!

The movers are coming tomorrow so this is our last entry in the Germany blog... look out Cleveland, here we come!!

An Afternoon in the Black Forest

On Sunday we went to the Black Forest with our friends Erin and Tim. We went for a small hike next to a waterfall and also bought ourselves a cuckoo clock!

3 more working days, 11 more days total... still cannot believe it. Guess it will feel real when the movers arrive on Monday.

16 more days...

16 more days in Germany. The car is sold, the movers are on their way...is this for real? we are really going to miss being here

Dachau

I have known the name Dachau for a very long time, and as we walked through the gates on Tuesday morning I wondered how my grandfather felt when his army infantry arrived there nearly 63 years ago. I wondered what he would think of me being there. I hope somehow he understands the need to pay respect to the survivors of Dachau, those who lost their lives, and the US army infantries which liberated Dachau.

The cruelty, the pain, the suffering which people imprisoned there were exposed to was horrific. Thank god this was stopped, thank god there was an end, god bless all of those who lost their lives in such a cruel and senseless manner. We were filled with sorrow and disbelief which words cannot properly describe.

Vacation time..

I had a few vacation days to use before we leave so Adam and I decided to go to Munich for the weekend. We had a very nice time sampling the local cuisine and Bavarian brew..

Easter Celebration with Erin

Erin came over to celebrate Easter with us this year. We had so much fun dying easter eggs. Erin brought over a big chocolate bunny so we melted it down for fondue. Delicious!

Happy Easter!
Love

The snow has arrived!

After a mild winter, the snow and cold weather has finally arrived. We woke up to several inches of snow on Good Friday.

Here's what happened to the tulips... yikes!
