Schönwalde - June 26, 2007






We are back in Germany! We loved our excursion to Scandinavia. We have spent a lot of time in our Renault Scenic driving from Innsbruck to Schönwalde to Rättvik to Hamar and Jotunheimen to Oslo to Langeland and back to Schönwalde. We were very glad to have our longest drive (from Innsbruck to Schönwalde) broken up by a visit to Edwin Dehler-Seter’s mother, Elisabeth Dehler, in Fulda. We were able to stop by her house and enjoy an amazing zweites Frühstück, complete with her famous Ottilienkuchen. It was a wonder to behold. Above left is a picture of us at the table with Frau Dehler, her daughter and granddaughter.
Now we are enjoying another round of hospitality at the home of our dear friends. This has become like a second home to us. Especially to Christian, Carl, Andrew and me, because we were here during the time Martin spent in Avignon. Andrew has been learning lots about herbs and gardening from Ingrid, and Christian and Carl enjoyed going to school with Marit, Solveig and Olav. We love the time we have spent here and are so thankful to Ingrid and Peter for their help and friendship. We borrowed their camping equipment for our trip to Scandinavia and can only express gratitude for everything that they have done for us. You guys are the greatest!
