Biberach

Christmas Market at Biberach
Today I did my first geocache in Germany. Found one, but couldn't find another because presumably it was buried under the snow. This afternoon we took the train from Karlsruhe down to Biberach, and received a welcome worthy of royalty from Lennart's family. Biberach is a beautiful town full of very old houses, and a very historical old church which Catholics and Protestants share for worship. We are going to spend the next couple of nights in Schloss Brandenstein, the home of our very first student, Benedicta, then the final night back with Lennart's family. Apparently we have a tour arranged for us with Bene's mother tomorrow down to the Bodensee (Lake Constance), and we will have our own apartment at the schloss at our disposal! I don't mind this kind of thing, really! It's really great to see "our" students again, seeing them in their family situation. Might not be able to get on the net for the next few days as the schloss is possibly not internet connected.

  1. It is great to hear and see that you are having a good time. It does seem strange that you are in cold and snow while we are well and truely enjoying summer weather...mostly
