Melissa, if you are out there…. This photo is for you. We visited the cathedral in Mainz and I just couldn’t get you out of my head. Miss you.
Graham, Last night was for you. Home made Quiche Lorraine, a variety of white wines and robust political talk with the young and the not-so-young, liberal Germans and Americans. Doesn’t get better than that. Wish you were here.
Natalie, I think about you every day. Hope all is going well. We left without seeing you. But you, Craig and baby are in our hearts. Hope the days are getting cool and the nights aren’t too long. Keep in touch.
For everyone else in our lives, we are soaking it in, drinking it up and squeaking every minute out of the sunny days and cool nights.
We have moved to a suburb of Frankfurt and will be staying with Sina and Stefan for a few days. They will be our guides through this beautiful city. Sleeping under “sheets”, we call them feather beds, is so great. Thoughts of shipping feather beds home, keep dancing in my dreams.
I must say, I am enjoying the cool breeze coming through the window at night and the smell of Fall in the air. There is a huge car show in Frankfurt over the next few weeks, biggest in the world. Gene is ready to tackle the crowds to see the newest in electric cars, I think the river cruise sounds like a better option. Either way, our time in Germany feels casual and being with family is marvelous.
Final note. The beers are getting smaller, or I am learning how to order better, thank goodness, these half-liters are killing me. We plan to go to the neighborhood, beer party on Saturday. Small is beautiful.
