Beautiful pictures. Many of the buildings are quite monumental. Beautifully overbearing. If you don't rest, your body will tell you it's tired. Glad you are enjoying it.
Ahhh, these pics take me back to my days in Germany, c. early 80's. How beautiful! I'm playing catch-up reading your blog and it's fascinating reading. I hope you are feeling like you're accomplishing what you felt called to accomplish over there. We miss you, but things are great here. The One-Anothering group is going wonderfully. Last night many of us cried as we each shared times during the past week when we felt particularly loved or unloved. I can see that some great bonds are going to come from this group. We are learning to listen, respect and open up to each other. Deacons Bonnie and Deb are doing a terrif job :-) Ok time to read more of your blog! Love and hugs, Donna J.
