Road Trip to Germany

Last year the Euro meetings were held in Spain; this year they were in Germany. As we were looking into getting tickets, we realized it would be much cheaper to drive there, than to fly. Would we be brave enough to drive through a few countries in Europe in a 'left-handed car', on the right side of the road???
I am sure you can guess we decided to try it, and Ragnar did a fantastic job. You would never know it was his first time to do it. My experience was limited to driving around the small town where the meetings were held.
We basically were in meetings from early morning until late at night, which I didn't get pictures of (wonder why?!) but here are some from a few odds and ends throughout the week.
The meals were great - yummy bread with lots of choices of meat, cheese and jam for breakfast and supper.
Then great fellowship around the dinner table. One of the side benefits of attending these meetings, is spending time with so many friends. This year there were 8 of us who had worked in the Philippines.

On our one 'free' afternoon, we all headed to town, and then met up for coffee.

I wonder what the question was?

A walk through town - lots of beautiful buildings.

We were all excited to see the snow falling one day.

I took some knitting projects with me.
