On Sunday we left our Sickenhausen apartment after a great three weeks. Our last full day in Schwaben was spent touring Bebenhausen and Tübingen with Rainer Breitfeld, then enjoying a wonderful grill-evening with Rainer’s wife, Inge and their kids, Alexander, Wolfgang, Viktor and Marita. We are so thankful for the kindness everyone showed us and how welcome we felt. We certainly have a soft spot in our heart for the Reutlingen area. It has been an amazing place to live.
Our exciting adventures continue in the Bavarian Alps. We drove to Ettal, a small alpine village with a large monastery. We met my sister, Heidi, her husband, Jeff and their kids Jon Erik, William and Solveig, at a little apartment where we will stay for the next few days. This is a major tourist/ski area – very close to Garmisch-Partenkirchen and the Zugspitze (Germany’s highest peak).
You can’t imagine the joy on our boys’ faces when seeing their cousins. These kids have been very close their whole lives and I think, somehow, sharing this European experience makes it all the more special. Of course, having Heidi and Jeff around make Martin and me smile too. We do have fun together. After arrival we wandered around the town and monastery a bit. We caught the end of Mass at the baroque monastery church. Very beautiful.
