Guten Tag! Another little update from Germany (see the first update
here). Since leaving my grandma's, we've been in the city where my aunt and uncle live. I lived here in 8th grade when I went to school here for a year, and it's interesting to see how much, and at the same time how little, has changed. Here are a few snapshots...
The pharmacies are always so fancy here, especially the signs...
...and so are the jewelry stores.
Enjoying a mid day beer down on the river with my uncle.
My aunt makes amazing quilts. She made me one back in 8th grade, and I still use it all the time. She made this one for my cousin, her stepson, for his 30th birthday.
Out in the city with my aunt's dog, Hermione. She's the most playful dog I've ever met. She looks like such a little teddy bear!

We went shopping at Hof - of course we had to go in and look around (and buy a few things)!
Yesterday was my cousin Johann's 30 birthday. Family members, co-workers, and childhood friends all came together to celebrate.
He was thrilled that his uncle, my father, was there.
At 82, my grandma was the first up to dance! Ok, just kidding, but she
was having a great time.
Now my second cousins (I consider them first cousins because we're close in age and because our family is so small) are here with their babies. Tomorrow we leave to fly back already. I'm sad to leave, but at the time same I'm happy to going back to my own bed, my own schedule, and not eating all the time (ok, I will miss that).
