Repeat~

Jim, Cody and I are excited to have our Bryce join

us in Germany for some fun.  Bryce arrived about

noon today and we made sure to fill the day up with

some interesting activities to help him with his jet-lag.

Many of the activities were recent repeats for us, but

for Bryce each activity was a first, it was great.

 After picking Bryce up at the high speed train station

in Siegburg we drove back to Bad Godesberg and 

walked into town to enjoy the atmosphere and buy

a Donor (Turkish wrap), he seemed to like it.

I took everyone to the local coffee shop in Bad Go 

that has some pretty amazing hot chocolate.  You do 

the mixing of the milk and the chocolate syrup.  Cody 

wanted the milk chocolate, Bryce the dark chocolate.

It was perfect for the rainy, cold day we were having,

no surprise there. ;-)

Once we had our fun tour of Bad Go we were off in 

the car to see some fun local sights in other towns.

We decided to do a return trip to Rheinbach, where

Jim and I enjoyed dinner the previous night, to show

Bryce some of the great history sights in the town.

This day time shot shows more of the great colors

in all of the timbered buildings along this street.

A day time shot of the city tower.

Another great picture of the sight of the Roman ruins

water drainage pipe that used to run through Rheinbach.

It was raining for this repeat photo of 

the building we enjoyed dinner in with 

Alfons and Lissy the previous evening.

After our quick repeat tour of Rheinbach we were 

off down the road to Bad Munster.  I visited this 

town with friends a few weeks ago.  This is another

great town to experience the feel of German culture.

A view done the main strasse in Bad Munster.

Another one of my cute, little German houses!

Festive flags to liven this building.

I love this crooked old timbered building in the middle of the town.

Jim and the boys spent quite a few minutes

looking into the creek for trout, they spotted a few.

The creek runs through the center of town.

These gables are so cool.

Another town gate entrance.

A walk along the inside of the city wall.

Town rooftops...and a big tree in the way...

Right back where we started.

After a great time in Bad Munster Eifel we were hungry!

We decided to enjoy eating dinner at a local Czech Restaurant.

It made us feel just a bit closer to our great missionary serving

"next door" in the Czech Republic. :-)

Our evening was spent at home packing for an EARLY

morning departure to Greece.  More fun to come!
