We’re back in North America after a wonderful three weeks in Europe. I’ve been up for a record 25 hours in an attempt to whip jet lag in one fell swoop. It’s easier in this direction since we gained nine hours. I’m hoping to stay up late enough to get a full night’s sleep.
The best parts of the trip? Spending time with our friends, Ingrid and Ulrich, who were our guides and ultimate hosts throughout northern Germany and into Poland; precious time with family in Denmark; meeting up with former language students who have lived with us in Canada; and Bryant’s enthusiasm about his adventure travelling with a church group from Spain back to Germany for World Youth Day. As for the knitting content – the wool shops in every German village and town, no matter how small; Addi needles for $4-7 euros; and yarn for half of Cdn prices.
Here’s a photo of Ingrid, Helga (a former student of ours), me, Chuck, Bryant, Ulrich and in front, Lotta, Ingrid and Ulrich’s daughter who participated in the same Cdn/German exchange pgm as my daughter six years ago.
And my first stop on the day of our arrival:
