Yesterday continued with a trip that truly took Martin back down memory lane. We went to Altenburg for coffee with the Radler/Kleins. Martin grew up across the street from Frau Klein and her family. Now Gaby Klein Radler, her husband Michael and their son Philip live upstairs and are renovating the house. Andrew was thrilled to meet Philip. Philip and Andrew are both 10 years old – born 2 days apart, and on Monday Andrew will start school in Philip’s class.
We had a wonderful afternoon that continued on into the evening with supper at a pizzeria. It was very fun to be back in Martin’s old neighborhood and to hear little Martin and Gaby stories from Frau Klein.
Today we visited some more old friends, Rainer Güthner and Carola Berger. Rainer and Martin have been friends since the 5th grade. After breakfast at their home in Rommelsbach we drove to Untertürkheim to the Mercedes Benz Museum. Rainer is an engineer at Daimler-Chrysler. This museum is brand new and quite amazing. It covers all facets of the development of the automobile, as well as other forms of transportation. As a museum it has something for everyone; history, technology, social currents, even a fascinating children’s program.R
