So a few weeks ago Mom and Mema came to visit. Yes, it was a girl's trip! And we had so much fun! They flew in on a Monday to Berlin. My host father, Detlef, is a lawyer and he arranged some meeting for that Monday in Berlin. That way he could drive me the two hours to Berlin in order to pick them up from the airport. He is so nice! Then he took all the suit cases in the car to his meetings so we could enjoy a few sights around Berlin. Folks, that is German hospitality at its best! So we had an afternoon cup of coffee and walked around Berlin a little bit. Then we returned to Quedlinburg that evening for a nice dinner with the family. Frau Scherer invited Mom and Mema to stay at the house with me (so nice!). Then the next day we ventured into the quaint city of Quedlinburg to check out the cross-timbered houses. Quedlinburg is a UNESCO town so all the old houses must be preserved and built in this fashion. I highly recommend to all of you to research Quedlinburg a little deeper and definitely visit it at some point.
On Wednesday, my boyfriend, Lars, took us to another small town called Frankenhausen to see the Panorama Museum. This is a Giant painting that is 14 meters tall and completes a circle that is 123 around! It depicts fictional and realistic characters and events in German history. Google it for sure. The next day we went to the capital of our state, Magdeburg. Lars and I showed them the wonderfully old cathedral and the Hundertwasser building. And of course we did a little shopping. Stay tuned for more about the adventure! love to all!
