Both Simeon and myself love this area. And not just for the Wirtschaftswoche, Spätzle and Tschibo we bring back either. One can never reproduce the memories long past, yet small things are powerful reminders of a certain glory of the past. Amazing how smells can be associated to situations and places - more powerful than pictures. The stuffy wooden smell of this house will remind me of a challenging moment spent there. A new furniture smell there will remind me of a time in which my main worry seemed to be driving. Though the services are pretty light and nicely packaged for a protected faith, we still go to church. Let's be honest, mostly for the people. Cause they're a huge part of the memories too. Time has flown by, both Sim and myself have grown up a lot. But so have a lot of our friends from times past. (Susi even made time for us, which was really special.) And it is great to meet up with them - just to bunk out and chat sometimes. Sometimes just to listen to them. Sim and I both decided, we really just love the Germans. Such gracious people.
