Friday afternoon we went to Mia’s play. Her class had presented Sleeping Beauty
earlier this year and were asked to perform it again for a theater festival. It was a little theater in Bad
something. We walked the park and got
the little kids Ice cream while Eva helped the class get dressed in their
costumes and make up on. When it was
time to go in, the little kids decided to sit on the first row bench. We were just two rows behind them. All was well until the wicked fairy scared
Luzian. She was a great little
actor! He cried and one of the other
mothers scooped him up before David or I could get to him. I didn’t recognize her from the BBQ and she
obviously wasn’t going to surrender him to us.
He finally got his point across to her that we were OK, and we took the
kids out side to wait. We chatted with
the other parents we had met and told them about our time in Berlin. The teacher from the school that we asked
where Mias classroom was, was very relieved to see us with Eva and when she
introduced us she stated we had already met.
I guess that would be pretty creepy to have foreigners come looking for
a child at the school
After we unloaded the costumes at the car we walked around
the town and all the shops. I’ve decided
i rather like paved sidewalks and streets.
Sturdy shoes will be a must for CJ.
The cobblestone walks and roads are murder on your feet. We got more ice cream and then headed back to
the car. I tried a dark chocolate this
time and it was fabulous!
Friday night we played games with the kids. We learned a new game that we will have to
see if we can get in the states. It’s
sort of like settlers of catan in the sense that you build cities and roads,
but you build it one card at a time like dominos. The sides have to match.
CJ learned how to work the german washers and driers and we
did all of our laundry and packed for our next little trip.
We did have one thunder storm, and yes, if you leave those
awesome sky light windows open, your bed does get wet! It was also ridiculously hot while they had
to be closed. I’m so grateful that David
stayed away long enough for the rain to stop so he could open the windows. It quite curious that the windows here are open
and there really are not any bugs. The
only time we have had mosquitos was at the mission presidents home.
On our way to Berchtesgaden
We got up this morning to finish packing and head off for
berchtesgaden Eva made a wonderful
german breakfast of fresh rolls, honey, meats cheeses and drinks for
breakfast. She also packed us a nice
lunch. David D. had gone to the bakery
early just for me and bought my favorite bread to take along with us. They also bought new bread we hadn’t tried
before. It was a sunflower and pumpkin
seed bread. One of my favorites so
far. Eva packed the last roll in our
lunch….she is so nice.
David took us to the Karben train station by their house and
we caught the S6 into the Frankfurt Main station. We took the Ice train to Wurtzgerb and then
changed trains to a regional train that will take us all the way to
berchtesgaden. It’s supposed to be much
cooler in the next few days. The
regional train is much slower and stops more often. The country side is georgous. It’s so green and looks just like pictures
from the story books. The sky looks dark
so I’m sure we will get more rain this weekend.
Our plans are to spend two nights in Berchtesgaden and then
one or two nights in Munich. We are
excited for this part of our journey. We
are supposed to have Wifi at the hotel, so hopefully we do. The total trip today is about 7 hours. We are almost to Munich and I’ve typed most
of the way. We are becoming more
accustomed to the movement of the train and tolerating it much better now. We’ve never boarded with an empty stomach
since the first time. That was a mistake.
Cj is catching up on much needed rest and David goes in between snoring
and reading his book with an occasional game on his phone. I’ve loved the mandatory down time. What a great excuse to blog, catch up on
journaling, reading scriptures, pondering life all intermixed with doing just
plain nothing! I find it quite relaxing. The train was delayed because of flooding on
the first part of our journey today, but I said the biggest prayer because
there was only one connection to catch and we only had 20 minutes built in to
the schedule. By the time we got their
late, the arriving train was also 20 minutes late and so it was no
problem! THANK HEAVENS!!!! We should arrive in Berchtesgaden just before
5pm local time and we will walk to our hotel.
I hope it looks something like the photos, because if it does we are in
for a real treat. We won’t be able to do
much tonight as most things shut down around 5-6pm, so we will rest and enjoy
the views, get some dinner and be ready to go in the morning.
