July 12

Not only have I had problems loading pictures but now I haven't been able to access the blog either. So I'll slide in a quick update this morning before we move on to Munich.
Friday night was why I came to Germany.
Everyone finally made it to Düssburg. Kyle and Melissa got there from Brussels, Fran made it home from Munich and we surrounded the table with food, laughter, and stories. Fran's parents and her aunt had been showing Kathy, Kacie, and I around for the last couple of days and that was all good. But when we were all together my heart was just full to overflowing. That was the whole reason for coming to Europe. Everything other than that moment was just icing on the cake.
So now we move on today to Munich for a couple of days before flying back to

the states.
Right now all is well and all is well.
